Alice Ormond Campbell was an American author of romantic thrillers with female protagonists. She was born Alice D Ormond in Atlanta, Georgia, U. S. A, on 29 November 1887. She moved to New York City at the age of nineteen and quickly became a socialist and women’s suffragist. The adventurous Ormond moved to Paris some time around 1910. There she married the American-born artist and writer James Lawrence Campbell and had a son in 1914. After World War One, the family left France for England, where Campbell continued writing crime fiction. Between 1928 and 1950 Alice Campbell published nineteen crime novels: inverted mysteries, thrillers, and actual detective stories. She died in Bridport, Devon, on 27 November 1955.
