Autorenporträt

Christopher St. John Sprigg (1907-1937) was a British author, journalist, and poet, who also wrote under the pen name Christopher Caudwell. Despite his early death at the age of 29 during the Spanish Civil War, Sprigg left behind a unique literary footprint, particularly in the genre of detective fiction. He was born in Putney, London, and started his career as a journalist before turning to fiction writing. 'Death of an Airman' (1934) is one of his best-known works, acclaimed for its clever plotting and meticulous use of forensics, as well as its authentic representation of aviation, reflecting Sprigg's keen interest in the field. The book is celebrated for its well-crafted mystery and is considered a classic in the golden age of detective fiction. Other notable works include 'The Perfect Alibi' (1934) and 'Death of a Queen' (1935), both reinforcing his reputation as a master of the classic whodunit, with a style marked by conciseness and wit. Although his career in crime fiction was brief, Sprigg's novels have garnered appreciation for their ingenuity and remain a subject of interest for literary scholars and fans of detective literature alike.
