Gordon Daviot, a renowned playwright, made a significant impact in the literary world during the 1930s. Under this pseudonym, she penned her debut mystery novel, "The Man In The Queue", a work that would set the stage for her future literary endeavors.
However, for her second novel, "A Shilling For Candles", Daviot opted for a new moniker, adopting the family name Josephine Tey. This marked the beginning of a new chapter in her writing career, as she would go on to publish a further six novels under this pseudonym.
