George Harmon Coxe

    23. April 1901 – 30. Januar 1984

    George Harmon Coxe war ein amerikanischer Autor von Kriminalliteratur, dessen Stil tief in der Ära der Pulp-Magazine verwurzelt war. Er vertiefte sich in ein Genre, das er liebte, und schuf eine Reihe denkwürdiger Charaktere, oft Detektive und Fotografen, die sich in komplexen Verbrechen zurechtfanden. Seine Arbeit zeichnet sich durch ein zügiges Tempo und die Fähigkeit aus, den Leser in eine Welt voller Geheimnisse und Intrigen zu ziehen. Coxe meisterte nicht nur die Kunst des spannenden Erzählens, sondern seine beliebten Charaktere fanden auch ihren Weg in andere Medien, was ihre anhaltende Anziehungskraft unter Beweis stellt.
