Acerca do autor
Marie Belloc Lowndes (1868-1947) was a prolific British author whose work spanned the late Victorian era through the early 20th century. Born in France to a French father and an English mother, she was the sister of the renowned essayist Hilaire Belloc.

Her most famous work, "The Lodger" (1913), was inspired by the Jack the Ripper murders and is considered a pioneering piece in the genre of detective fiction. This novel was later adapted into several films, including a silent film by Alfred Hitchcock, marking her influence on the cinematic world.A trailblazer for women writers, Lowndes was unafraid to delve into controversial topics such as the psychological motivations behind crime and the complexities of the human psyche.
