Josephine Tey was a pseudonym used by Elizabeth MacKintosh (1896-1952), a Scottish author best remembered for her mystery novels. She also wrote about a dozen one-act plays and another dozen full-length plays, many with biblical or historical themes under the name Gordon Daviot. In several of Tey's mystery novels, the hero is Scotland Yard Inspector Alan Grant. The most famous of these is The Daughter of Time, which was selected by the British Crime Writers' Association as the greatest mystery novel of all time.
