Manning Lee Stokes (1911-1976) was an American writer who contributed to pulp series under house names - for instance the "Blade" series, written under the name of Jeffrey Lord, and the Nick Carter series. His series PI Christopher Fenn appeared in two novels under the Stokes name.
Christopher Fenn is a rather soft-boiled private investigator who prefers to be called a criminologist. Between cases he writes thin monographs on a wide variety of subjects, such as "An Inquiry Into Neo-Semantic Theory." His cases revolve around odd artifacts.
