Reginald Southouse Cheyney was born in London. He left school at the age of fourteen and went to Clark's College to complete his education before working as a junior clerk in a firm of sollicitors. The office life however did not suit him and he left to join show business.
During the First World War he worked at the Labour Corps Record Office. In this period he published two volumes of poetry. It took a long time before he met with any success. The publication of his first crime novel in 1936 finally set him on the road to fame and fortune. His two great heroes are 'Lemmy Caution' and 'Slim Callaghan'. When Cheyney died, he was one of the richest authors of his time.
