Author: Herbert Jenkins
(George) HERBERT JENKINS (1876-1923) seems to have been something of a dilettante at detective fiction, with his main interest being a non-detective series character called 'Bindle'. Malcolm Sage, Detective is a competent set of short stories. Sage himself is something of a cross between Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot. He makes his first appearance in a novel called John Dene of Toronto. Perhaps fortunately, Herbert Jenkins had his own publishing company.
