John Thomas McIntyre was an American novelist who wrote both mainstream and mystery novels . His success as a serious novelist was limited, and to make a living he wrote juvenile fiction, short stories, and mysteries, including a series of four stories featuring Ashton-Kirk, a scientific-minded criminologist. In the words of his publisher, The Penn Publishing Company, “These remarkably interesting detective stories center around a wealthy young man who has made the study of crimes his hobby and occupation. It leads him into some queer complications and often into great dangers.”
“Ashton-Kirk, Investigator” is the first book in the series. Borrowing the words from the dust jacket of an early publication, “Into the woof of a charming love story is woven a puzzle that taxes the imagination. Through an ingeniously tangled web of criminality the investigator works his way with the precision of fate, and in the end lays his hands upon the man guilty of the bizarre murder of David Hume.
