John Cecil Masterman (1871-1977) was educated at the Royal Naval Colleges of Osborne and Dartmouth and at Worcester College, Oxford. He was a Modern History don at Christ Church, Oxford. He wrote just two books, both set at an imaginary Oxford College. In the first, his sleuth Ernest Brendel unravels a complex plot involving the shooting of a disliked tutor. In the second, Brendel returns to Oxford to recount to four friends the history of how a murder is planned and carried out.
