"The Great Elwell", Peter Levins, The Milwaukee Sentinel, October 24, 1948, pp. 34–35[?] – perhaps a series "from the Album of Famous Mysterie". at Google news
From its Publishers Weekly review, quoted by Amazon, presumably relying on Jonathan Goodman:
"From a lower middle-class family, he married into the social register; his wife was instrumental in helping him capitalize on his skill at cards, and he became the nation's ranking authority on bridge-whist and auction bridge. Among his pupils was Harold Vanderbilt, who later often played as his partner; association with Vanderbilt gave Elwell entree to wealthy clients and his position was enhnaced by the publication of several books, a couple of them ghost-written by his wife."
