Charles Warren Adams

Charles Warren Adams (1833-1903) was an English lawyer, writer and publisher. Little is known of him, but he is credited with having written [The Notting Hill mystery->artXXX] under the pseudonym of Charles Felix.

Apparently as a lawyer he bailed out the publishing firm Saunders, Otley & Co, which then published two works of Adams, and “Velvet lawns” in 1864, and before that, [The Notting Hill mystery->artXXX] in 1863, after first being serialised in “Once a week” over a period spanning more than a year, thus preceding Gaboriau's L'Affaire Lerouge by merely a year in the chronology of detective and crime novels. Adams also became the secretary of the anti-vivisection society.
