	Gideon Fell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Doctor Gideon Fell is a fictional detective created by John Dickson Carr.
		He is described as a huge, moustached, corpulent man who wears a cape and a shovel hat and walks with the aid of two canes.
		Doctor Fell is supposedly based upon a real person -- G.K. Chesterton, who, like Carr, was a master of detective fiction (the Father Brown stories), and whose physical appearance and personality were apparently similar to those of Doctor Fell.

	The Case of the Constant Suicides - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unlike most of the other Dr. Fell novels, this story has a high humour level, reminiscent of the Henry Merrivale works.
		Suspicious events soon begin to occur, the body count rises, and a verdict of suicide is not necessarily to be trusted.
		Enter the gargantuan Doctor Gideon Fell, who applies his substantial powers of deduction to the problem of how men can be indirectly murdered while they're inside locked, sealed and inaccessible rooms.

	On Dr Fell
		And few literary figures of the 1930s were as gigantic (in either sense) and recognizable as G.K.Chesterton, from whom Carr borrowed Fell's appearance, mannerisms, and fondness for beer.
		The plots are full of high melodrama, seeming impossibilities and eerie background lore, such as the European vampire legends which darken the atmosphere of The Hollow Man (1935) and He Who Whispers (1946), or the smoky pall of witchcraft in The Crooked Hinge (1938)...
		Fell's lecture openly lists the category and subcategory of deception into which both puzzles fall, while Carr's misdirecting hand ensures that even as it's pushed under your nose, you fail to see it.

		“When we see the silhouette of Dr. Fell on the jacket of a book we are sure of an ingenious plot, some hair-raising horror and just that tincture of something rich and strange that takes a book out of the region of the commonplace and transports the reader into a queer world.
		John Dickson Carr (alias Carter Dickson, alias Carr Dickson, alias Roger Fairbairn) was perhaps the greatest deviser of murderous plots, of titanic misdirection, of surprising villains, of impossible murders, of supernatural atmospheres, of frightening and fantastic characters, and of high comedy cheek-by-jowl with passages of spine-chilling terror.
		His series detectives were the Chestertonian Dr. Gideon Fell; the loud and irascible Sir Henry Merrivale, based on Mycroft Holmes with a dash of Winston Churchill; and the Satanic Henri Bencolin.
