THE COMPLETE RAILWAY MYSTERIES - VICTOR L WHITE...

Victor Lorenzo Whitechurch (1868-1933) was a Church of England clergyman and author. He is best
known for his detective stories featuring Thorpe Hazell  the first amateur railway detective 
whom the author intended to be as far from Sherlock Holmes as possible. Another Whitechurch's
character was the spy Captain Ivan Koravitch. His stories were admired for their immaculate
plotting and factual accuracy. Whitechurch was one of the first writers to submit his
manuscripts to Scotland Yard for vetting as to police procedure. Table of Contents: Thrilling
