Beldrum, Archibald. Archibald Beldrum was created by Lindsay Hay and appeared in It Wasn’t a Nightmare (1937), Terrible Hand (1937), and No Mean Tartar (1938).

During World War One Archibald Beldrum served in the British Intelligence Branch, in Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria and the Caucasus, and for a few years afterward he carried on in that line, but eventually he was cut loose, and became a fiction writer. He is large, on the wrong side of forty, and intelligent and observant. One of his best friends is Nigel Blair, who became Beldrum’s charge when Blair was orphaned, and now, at twenty-six, Blair is tall, athletic, quick-witted, and hugely strong. They make an efficient pair of amateur detectives and spy-fighters.
