Alice Tilton is actually a pen name used by Phoebe Atwood Taylor who is already featured on this site. The books under this pseudonym all feature the same character, one Leonidas Witherall. There are only eight books and the date range is 1937 to 1947. The first book was actually first published in Britain and was not released in the USA until1972 ! All of the others have American priority. The last title was called The Iron Clew in America and The Iron Hand in the United Kingdom. The books are based in Boston and are of particular interest to fans of bibliomysteries. Witherall is a retired professor and rare book dealer and also an author who writes mystery thrillers himself. This gives the books a great twist particularly so for bibliophiles. Crime fiction is a genre littered with oddball and lesser known pseudonyms, of all of them this is one of the better ones and highly recommended to both readers and collectors alike. |

Final Word
An obscure pen name for a well known author, not quite as sought after but still
very collectable.
An author better known the the American audience though there are a few
aficionados this side of the Atlantic.
