Ellis K. Meacham I thought at first was a pseudonym, but he turns out, somewhat improbably, to have been an American judge.
His books are difficult to get hold of, and the search buttons below may not get you far, but his stories about Perceval Merewether of the East India Marine are among my favourites.
