Crime writer Iain Carter has recently married and is struggling to make a decent living as an author. His brother-in-law is a likable but slightly indiscreet constable, and Iain decides to use this inside knowledge to write a satirical series featuring a pompous dictatorial police superintendent. To protect his identity, Iain creates an elaborately designed pseudonym, John Ky Lowell, that can't be traced back to him. When the first book by Lowell, The Undetective, proves to be a huge success, Iain finds he must take increasingly convoluted steps to protect his secret from the press, the police and the taxman. But the real trouble begins when a local bookmaker is killed, and Iain finds his mysterious alter-ego is the prime suspect.
Bruce Graeme (1900-1982) was a pseudonym of Graham Montague Jeffries, an author of 100 crime novels and a founding member of The Crime Writers Association. He created a number of Golden Age detectives, including bookseller and accidental detective Theodore Terhune, whose first adventure, Seven Clues in Search of a Crime, has been republished by Moonstone Press in 2021.

Jeffries also wrote under the pseudonyms David Graeme (claiming he was Bruce's cousin), Peter Bourne, Jeffrey Montague, Fielding Hope and Roderic Hastings. He was astonishingly prolific in crime and adventure fiction writing more than 100 books over a period of sixty plus years. He also managed to pen a few nonfiction works in history and true crime. In addition to his bookseller/writer detective Theodore I. Terhune he created five other series characters: Supt. William Stevens, Inspector Allain of the Sûreté, Det. Sgt. Robert Mather, Inspector Auguste Jantry, and - the character he is probably best known for - Richard Verrell, alias "Blackshirt," a professional thief who becomes a successful crime novelist.
