Melville Davisson Post
Melville Davisson Post was an American writer, born in Harrison County, West Virginia. Although his name is not immediately familiar to those outside of specialist circles, many of his collections are still in print, and many collections of detective fiction include works by him.

The 22 Uncle Abner tales, written between 1911 and 1928, have been called some of "the finest mysteries ever written".
