R. Austin Freeman (1862-1943) emerged as a key figure in the development of the detective genre, drawing inspiration from his medical training and personal experiences. His background in medicine allowed him to intertwine the principles of scientific inquiry with traditional storytelling, resulting in a distinctive voice that foreshadowed the modern detective novel.
