George Bagby

George Bagby was the nom de plume of the American novelist Aaron Marc Stein (1906-1985) [http://www.lib.unimelb.edu.au/collections/special/exhibitions/pulp/contents.pdf] , who specialized in mystery fiction. Bagby's focus was on police investigators, especially the fictional Inspector Schmidt, Chief of Homicide for the New York Police Department. In the Schmidt novels, mystery-writer Bagby himself appears as "the Watson to Schmidt's Holmes, following him on cases, and acting as biographer" (ULTIMATE MYSTERY FICTION WEB GUIDE, [http://www.magicdragon.com/UltimateMystery/authorsS.html] ). A number of his novels have been translated into other languages, including German, French and Spanish.
