Steven Van Dine (1888-1939) is the pseudonym of Willard Huntington Wright. This American journalist, publisher, art critic and writer was the author of several articles in the Encyclopedia Britannica on theater and fine arts and... one of the founders of the "golden age of detective fiction". He graduated from Harvard University. He worked as an editor and critic for newspapers in Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco. He wrote several books on painting, literature and music. They did not bring him fame, and then Wright turned to writing detective stories. His regular hero is amateur detective Philo Vance, a snob, erudite and admirer of the fine arts. In addition to the Vance series, Van Dine wrote several non-series works and screenplays, and also developed "Twenty Rules for Detective Writers". Some of his novels have been adapted for the screen. This volume presents the novel "The Benson Case". This sensational case was the first of many in which Philo Vance figured as a good friend of the prosecutor John F. K. Markham. The crime connected with Benson's death took its rightful place in the annals of the New York police crime.
