Stuart Palmer (Baraboo, Wisconsin, 21 juin 1905 - Los Angeles, Californie, 4 février 1968) est un scénariste et un auteur américain de roman policier.

Biography

De 1922 à 1926, il fréquente successivement le Chicago Art Institut et l'Université du Wisconsin sans grand succès.

La crise de 1929 le contraint à exercer une foule de petits métiers: marchand de glace, marin, chauffeur de taxi, rédacteur publicitaire et même clown dans un cirque.

Las de la tâche ingrate de nègre littéraire à laquelle il s'est astreint et de la publication de quelques nouvelles dans les magazines Brief Stories, il se décide à signer deux premiers romans, dont Meurtre dans l'aquarium (1932), un roman policier humoristique qui lui assure le succès et où apparaît son détective amateur récurrent, l'hilarante Hildegarde Withers.

Dans près de vingt romans et autant de nouvelles, cette héroïne aux chapeaux extravagants participe aux enquêtes de l'inspecteur Oscar Piper qui lui voue une admiration non feinte. Les récits misent sur l'humour, l'ironie et quelques moments de tension.

À partir du milieu des années 1930, il mène également une prolifique carrière de scénariste à Hollywood. Il signe notamment les scénarios de plusieurs films ayant pour héros Bulldog Drummond, le personnage créé par Sapper.
