George Bagby

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

George Bagby was the nom de plume of the American novelist Aaron Marc Stein (1906-1985), who specialized in mystery fiction. Bagby's focus was on police investigators, especially the fictional Inspector Schmidt, Chief of Homicide for the New York Police Department. In the Schmidt novels, mystery-writer Bagby himself appears as "the Watson to Schmidt's Holmes, following him on cases, and acting as biographer" (ULTIMATE MYSTERY FICTION WEB GUIDE, [1]). A number of his novels have been translated into other languages, including German, French and Spanish.
