About
Sir Henry Merrivale is the protagonist in a series of mystery novels by American novelist Carter Dickson (John Dickson Carr). Merrivale began the series as a serious character, but as the series goes on, became more and more comical. He began the series as a near-70s older man, but his age becomes more ambiguous as the series continues. Merrivale is a baronet and a barrister and has a medical degree. Among his talents are magic, disguise and being a crime historian. Merrivale claims to be married with children, but none of his family make appearances in the series.
