Charles Daly King (1895-1963) was an American psychologist. He was educated at Newark Academy, Yale and Columbia University.

His detective, Michael Lord, is attached to the New York police department. Lord's cases are recounted by a Watson figure, Dr L Rees Pons.

Quotes by C. Daly King  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“But not toward other people. That is the function of women, to lead in all relationships between persons, and especially between men and women, because they are equipped for that and men are not. Until they do fulfil their function and take the leadership that is theirs, we shall have the stupid, ignorant, wasteful, appetitive world that is making all of us sick. But the difficulty is to find women who possess the intelligence.”
C. Daly King, Obelists at Sea
