Baynard Kendrick

Baynard Kendrick

Baynard Hardwick Kendrick (1894-1977) wrote whodunit mystery novels about Duncan Maclain, a blind private investigator who worked with his two German shepherds and his household of assistants to solve murder mysteries. The novels were the basis for two films starring Edward Arnold, "Eyes in the Night" [ [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0034711/ IMDB page accessed March 24, 2008] ] (1942) and "The Hidden Eye" [ [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0037776/ IMDB page accessed March 24, 2008] ] (1945). He also wrote using the pseudonym Richard Hayward.

Kendrick was born in Philadelphia and traveled to Canada as a young man to enlist in the Canadian Army during World War I. He returned to Pennsylvania a decorated soldier after the war and continued to write. Kendrick's writing reflected two personal interests that he had developed - an interest of blind people and their coping skills and an interest in the history of Florida.

He died in 1977.
