Richard Austin Freeman (11 April 1862 – 28 September 1943). His education at Middlesex Hospital in London allowed him to get degrees in medicine and surgery. He went soon after in Accra, Ghana, to occupy a colonial surgeon station. But diseases broked out and ruined his career. Back in England, he became ear, nose and throat specialist and tutor, before devoting himself full-time to writing in 1919.

In 1898 he shot his African experience, before turning to the detective genre, written in collaboration with John James Pitcairn and featuring the friendly rogue Romney Pringle. But he got tired of this hero and tried only to develop a detective-doctor inThe Mystery of 31 New Inn, a short novel written in 1905, but did not immediately published to further refine his new detective.
