Sapper was the pen name of H. C. McNeile, a British writer of adventure and thriller fiction best known for Bulldog Drummond. The first novel introduces Hugh Drummond, a demobilised First World War officer who seeks excitement and becomes involved in a conspiracy led by the villain Carl Peterson. Later books continue with kidnappings, criminal plots and imperial adventure, helping establish the tough amateur hero who later influenced British spy fiction. Sapper's prose is brisk, action-led and strongly marked by the social attitudes of interwar Britain, including prejudices that modern readers may find offensive. His work fits classic thrillers, early spy fiction and adventure novels. Read more Less
