Bernard Capes
Bernard Edward Joseph Capes (1854-1918) was a prolific Victorian author who published more than 40 books, best remembered for his accomplished ghost stories. The Skeleton Key was the first detective novel commissioned and published by Collins (1919); its success (8 editions in 10 years) paved the way for a century of crime publishing. Sadly Capes died on 2 November 1918 in the influenza epidemic before his book was published. A plaque commemorating his life is in Winchester Cathedral.
