Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876-1958) was often called the American Agatha Christie. One of her books is considered to be the source of the phrase "the butler did it". She is considered to have invented the "Had-I-But-Known" school of mystery writing. She also created a costumed super-criminal called "the Bat," who was cited by Bob Kane as one of the inspirations for Batman. Shipping and handling is free in US with others paying actual costs.
