Herbert Jenkins
Jenkins seems to have been something of a dilettante at detective fiction, with his
main interest a non-detective series character called 'Bindle'. Malcolm Sage,
Detective is a competent but not exciting set of short stories about some fairly
hackneyed situations. Sage himself is something of a cross between Sherlock Holmes and
Hercule Poirot. He makes his first appearance in a novel called John Dene of Toronto.
Perhaps fortunately, Herbert Jenkins had his own publishing company.
