About the author
Pan Jin is a Chinese translator of mystery and detective fiction. Public information about the translator is limited; two translated works are known, both published by New Star Press. The earlier one is The Old Man in the Corner by Baroness Orczy, released in 2008, followed by Dorothy L. Sayers's Strong Poison in 2011. Both originals are classics in the history of Western detective fiction: the former is known for its "armchair detective" narrative mode, while the latter is a well-known novel in Sayers's Lord Peter Wimsey series. Through these translations, Pan Jin has brought two works of distinct styles to Chinese readers, offering readable versions that help domestic audiences understand the tradition of classical Western detective fiction and, to some extent, enriching the Chinese translation landscape of mystery and detective books.
