Ambrotox and Limping Dick Oliver Fleming

AMBROTOX AND LIMPING DICK, Oliver Fleming was a pseudonym used by British authors Ronald MacDonald (1860-1933) and his son Philip MacDonald (1900-1980). Works published under this name include Ambrotox and Limping Dick (1920) and The Spandau Quid (1923). Philip MacDonald also wrote as Anthony Lawless, Martin Porlock, W. J. Stuart, and Warren Stuart. His detective novels, particularly those featuring detective from his series Anthony Gethryn, are primarily "whodunnits" with the occasional locked-room mystery.
