DISTRICT WOMAN PRODUCES GOTH
DETECTIVE THRILLER IN 16 YEARS
Natalie Sumner LinCoIn'S
Newest Novel Is "The Fifth

Writing One of Many

Miss Natalie Sumner Lincoln OF
Washington, prolific writer of detective
"thrillers," has just chalked up another
mark in her constantly growing record
of criminal mysteries and political
intrigue that have their settings in the
upper crust of the Capitals social set
and cave dwellers" of old Georgetown
Her twentieth novel in 16 years OF
authorship, entitled, THE Fifth Latch
Key" which opens the door to new
and startling series of episodes, has
just been accepted for publication. Like
all her books, except one. it was written
in Washington, where Miss Lincoln was

First Work a Success.
Writing detective "thrillerS" is more
than a business with Miss Lincoln. II
has taken on something of the form OF
hobby" for often her novels require
intensive search into the methods OF
criminals and the mysteries of little
known poisons. Somehow or other it
never occurred to Miss Lincoln to
write anything until 1912, when the
idea struck her that she would like to
"try her luck" at writing detective
stories. Her first book, THE Trevor
Case" proved for her a success. some
thing that doesn't come the way OF
every author. Since then the same
New York firm has been publishing all
her books
Miss Lincoln evidently inherited her
literary talents from her mother, the
late Jeanie Gould Lincoln, who was
widely known in her day as novelist
and writer of girls stories. AS early

Has Many Interests.
How Miss Lincoln finds time to write
a couple of detective novels a year. as
she is now doing, is almost as much
a mystery as that contained in her
stories. Since 1915 she has been editor
of the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton Magazine and she is interested
in score of other things besides writ
ing extensively for current magazines
Lots of imagination and slight
knowledge of medicine and law" Miss
Lincoln declares, ARE more necessary
than real facts on which to base mys-
terry stories"
A study of law and medicine is neces-
Sary, she explained, to lend conviction.
"One must know just how long it takes
for the victim to die after having been
administered a certain poison" she said
cor how to unravel in an authentic
manner some complicated legal case
which may be part of the plot" She
is too modest to add hard work"
Outside of slight knowledge of these
subjects and an ability to create plots,
Miss Lincoln does not think 1t necessary
to have any other qualifications in order
to write detective stories.
