Anna Maynard Barbour bola americká autorka, ktorej detektívne romány sa stali bestsellermi. Jej štýl, ktorý bol na začiatku 20. storočia všeobecne uznávaný ako majstrovský, často zasadzoval napínavé príbehy do neobvyklého prostredia. Barbour sa zameriavala na vytváranie zložitých zápletiek a psychologicky prepracovaných postáv, ktoré čitateľov vťahovali do tajomného sveta. Jej diela dodnes oslovujú milovníkov napätia a rafinovaného písania.
