S. S. Van Dine was the pseudonym of Willard Huntington Wright (1888 - 1939), a US art critic and prolific author. After a long illness, he started writing detective fiction under a pseudonym, creating the wildly popular detective Philo Vance whose obscure cultural references and knowledge of aesthetic arts helped him solve many complicated puzzle plots.
