US writer who concentrated for much of his career on detective fiction, beginning with The Green God (1911). The Second Coming: A Vision (1916 chap) with Henry P Janes is a World War I fantasy in which Christ appeals for peace to the Kaiser. FAK also wrote two Afterlife fantasies, Ladies in Hades: A Story of Hell's Smart Set (1928) and Gentlemen in Hades: The Story of a Damned Debutante (1930). In the first, Eve establishes a club in Hell; in the second, a young woman who has just been killed makes good in Hell, flirting with Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), Noah and eventually Satan. A mild eroticism permeates both books, in the fashion of Thorne Smith.
