author: Hulbert Footner published: 1937 language: English. About Author Hulbert Footner (1879-1944) was a Canadian writer of non-fiction and detective fiction. Book Review Highly recommend this book. I love the books from the ‘Golden Age’ of crime fiction, but I’d never heard of Madame Rosika Storey - now I’ve read one book, I’m hooked! If you like Agatha Christie, Patricia Wentworth and Ngaio Marsh, you’ll like this.
