William Jenkins is a Canadian author and publisher. He lived in several Ontario cities, most recently in Brockville, the setting for this story. He has written a few stories in the Private Investigators Club series initially including lesson plans for teachers and students. Now, however, you can get a copy of the lesson plans in PDF format for free by emailing williamhenryjenkins@gmail.com. Without the lesson plans, the book is smaller, and is less expensive than the first edition. Information on the other stories in the series is available at http: //www.williamjenkins.ca.
