克林顿▪巴德利（1900-1970），英国20世纪初著名剧作家、演员，业余创作了不少脍炙人口的侦探小说，其中包括五部以戴维博士为侦探主角的校园谜案系列小说。

克莱顿•劳森（1906－1971） 著名的“推理巫师”，具有编辑、作家、魔术师等多重身份，美国推理作家协会（MWA）的四大创始人物之一。其小说一方面融汇着魔术表演的基本原理，奇招迭出、别开生面，让读者深受震撼；另一方面又不时现身说法，给读者讲解些简易魔术，而这又往往契合着小说的谋杀诡计，堪称匠心独运、只此一家。劳森曾以“马里尼”之名登台表演魔术，所以这名字便自然见诸他的小说，如此遂有推理史上名动一时的“魔术师侦探”——马里尼大师。 一切皆有可能！
