Charles Norris Williamson (1859–1920) was a distinguished British writer, largely known for his collaboration with his wife, Alice Muriel Williamson, in producing a substantial oeuvre of romance and mystery novels at the turn of the 20th century. Working seamlessly together, they specialized in travelogues and suspense narratives, often incorporating contemporary transportation technologies into their plots, which appealed to the fascination of a rapidly modernizing society.
