Thorpe Hazell

Thorpe Hazell is a fictional detective created by the British author Victor Lorenzo Whitechurch. Hazell was a railway expert and a vegetarian, whom the author intended to be as far from Sherlock Holmes as possible. Short stories about Thorpe Hazell appeared in the Strand Magazine, the Royal Magazine, Railway Magazine,[1] Pearson's and Harmsworth's Magazines. They were collected in Thrilling Stories of the Railway (1912).
