Rufus King (writer)

Rufus King (3 January 1893 – 1966) was an American author of Whodunit crime novels. He created four series of detective stories: the first one with Reginald De Puyster, a sophisticated detective similar to Philo Vance; the second one with his more famous character, Lieutenant Valcour; the third with Colin Starr, who appeared in four stories in the Strand Magazine during 1940/41; and the fourth with Chief Bill Dugan, who appeared in three stories in The Saint Mystery Magazine and Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine 1956/57.

In 2014, Wildside Press purchased Rufus King's copyrights[1] and began reissuing his work, starting with a collection of Chief Bill Dugan mystery short stories.
