About the Author

Edward Cline is a prolific author renowned for his intricate mystery novels that blend sharp detective work with philosophical undertones, often exploring themes of individualism and rational inquiry in early 20th-century America. Drawing from his deep appreciation for Ayn Rand's objectivist philosophy, Cline crafts compelling narratives featuring protagonists who navigate moral complexities with unyielding logic and courage. His Cyrus Skeen series exemplifies this style, transporting readers to the Jazz Age where private investigator Cyrus Skeen unravels enigmatic crimes while upholding principles of reason and liberty.

Beyond mysteries, he has contributed essays on literature and culture, enriching the discourse on heroism in fiction.
