Anne Austin è stata una scrittrice di gialli americana le cui narrazioni catturarono i lettori con le loro trame intricate e il ritmo avvincente. Passando dalla narrativa romantica, affinò la sua abilità narrativa in misteri avvincenti, molti dei quali furono pubblicati a puntate sui giornali, mantenendo il pubblico ansioso di scoprire ogni nuova uscita. I suoi romanzi presentavano spesso il detective ricorrente "Bonnie" Dundee, dimostrando la sua abilità nel creare investigatori coinvolgenti e casi criminali complessi. L'approccio distintivo di Austin al genere ha consolidato il suo posto come voce degna di nota nella narrativa di mistero dei primi del Novecento.

But, there was also a hint that something in Emma Hogarth's past might have been behind her murder. For his first case, newly appointed detective James Dundee might have wished for something simpler, especially when he discovers that his best witness is a parrot.
