J.S. Savage is a London-based author who specialises in impossible crime. His debut novel, The Mystery of Treefall Manor, nods to the golden age of detective fiction where the tyrannical master of Treefall manor is found stabbed to death inside his locked study. He has now written a follow up novel to this, The Riddle of the Ravens, which sees Inspector Graves and his protégé Constable Carver investigating the death of three of the Tower of London’s ravens.
Last year he published a new locked-room mystery novel, Sun, Sea, and Murder, in which a group of British holidaymakers find themselves to be suspects when two murders occur at a luxury Spanish hotel. His short story, Deal in Death, was published in Ten Little Mysteries by Golden Age Mysteries Ltd. in September 2025.
He has been shortlisted for numerous short story prizes and can usually be found plotting murders with a pint of ale at his elbow when his better half and son afford him the time to do so.
“A deftly constructed puzzle box of a mystery, with one of the most satisfying impossible crime plots I’ve seen in a long while. Very highly recommended.”
