Inspector Hugh Collier is a fictional detective created by Moray Dalton, the pen name of English author Katherine Mary Deville Dalton Renoir. Dalton wrote during the Golden Age of detective fiction, and her Inspector Collier is one of the period’s most quietly effective investigators, described as a young, intelligent, and reserved officer of Scotland Yard.
The series began with One by One They Disappeared in 1928 and continued through the 1930s with titles like The Night of Fear and The Strange Case of Harriet Hall. After Dalton’s death in 1963, her work faded from view, but modern reprints by Dean Street Press have brought her novels back to readers. Critics have compared her writing to that of Margery Allingham and other Golden Age greats.
