Richard [Edward] Connell Jr. (1893-1949), nato a Poughkeepsie, New York, fu uno dei più popolari scrittori di racconti del suo tempo. Il padre, prima di dedicarsi alla politica, era stato direttore del quotidiano locale e aveva iniziato il figlio al giornalismo, quando aveva solo dieci anni, facendogli commentare le partite di baseball. Dopo aver prestato servizio nella Prima Guerra Mondiale, Connell si dedicò a tempo pieno alla scrittura. Le sue storie, pubblicate sul Saturday Evening Post e sulla rivista Collier’s Weekly, gli procurarono fama e onori. Il suo racconto più celebre, The Most Dangerous Game (1924), dal quale furono tratte numerose versioni cinematografiche, vinse il prestigioso O. Henry Memorial Prize come già era successo al precedente, A?Friend of Napoleon (1923). Autore di numerose sceneggiature per il cinema e la televisione, nel 1942 Connell ricevette una nomination agli Oscar per il miglior soggetto originale del film diretto da Frank Capra Meet John Doe (Arriva John Doe). Lo scrittore, che morì d’infarto a Beverly Hills a 56 anni, pubblicò solo quattro romanzi, di cui Delitto in mare (Murder at Sea, 1929) è l’unico di genere giallo.
