Alfred Walter Stewart, writing under the pseudonym J. J. Connington, was a British chemist and novelist who successfully balanced his scientific career with a prolific output of fiction. Born in 1880, Stewart worked primarily as a chemist, but between 1923 and 1947, he authored twenty-seven detective novels alongside a pioneering work of science fiction.\n\nConnington's mystery fiction is particularly noted for its recurring protagonist, Chief Constable Sir Clinton Driffield. Driffield made his first appearance in the 1927 novel Murder in the Maze and went on to become the author's most prominent character. Stewart continued writing under his pseudonym until his death in 1947.
