Arthur Cheney Train, born on September 6, 1875, in Boston, Massachusetts, was a prominent American lawyer and writer, known for his legal thrillers and mystery stories. Train graduated from Harvard University in 1897 and later from its law school in 1899. He embarked on a career in law, working initially as an assistant district attorney in New York City, which became the backdrop for many of his compelling legal narratives. Train's literary fame is anchored by his creation of the character Mr. Ephraim Tutt, an astute and whimsically cunning lawyer who became the protagonist in many of his works.

Train's writing is characterized by incisive wit, a profound understanding of the legal system, and a knack for crafting compelling courtroom dramas that often reflect on the paradoxes of justice and the human condition. His work not only entertains but also provides insightful commentary on the American judicial system of his era.
