About The Author
Joseph Shearing
Joseph Shearing was one of the pennames of the prolific English writer Margaret Gabrielle Vere Long (1885-1952), who is best known by the name Marjorie Bowen. As Shearing she wrote novels based on real-life cases, earning her a following among contemporary critics such as Edward Waheknecht, who said “she is more than ‘a born story-teller’; she is a witch, a genius in the creation of atmosphere” with “all the prime gifts of a writer of ‘thrillers’”.
