Dolores Hitchens was een Amerikaanse misdaadschrijfster wier productieve werk de verborgen spanningen onder de oppervlakte van het dagelijks leven onderzocht. Haar werk dook vaak in de donkerdere aspecten van de menselijke natuur en creëerde spannende verhalen die lezers fascineerden. Ze toonde veelzijdigheid door mee te werken aan misdaadverhalen met een spoorwegthema en zich ook in andere genres te wagen, waaronder Western-verhalen. Een terugkerend personage, de vrijgezelle Rachel Murdock, verscheen in veel van haar verhalen en trok het publiek naar een wereld van ingewikkelde plotten en boeiende raadsels.
