Stephen Marlowe Bücher
Stephen Marlowe, geboren als Milton Lesser, war ein produktiver Autor mit einem umfangreichen Werk von über fünfzig Romanen. Er erlangte besondere Anerkennung für seine Detektivgeschichten mit dem weltreisenden Privatdetektiv Chester Drum. Marlowes Protagonist unterschied sich von typischen Detektiven durch seinen luxuriösen Lebensstil, der ihn an exotische Orte auf der ganzen Welt führte. Seine Erzählungen waren oft von Spionage-Spannung geprägt, und nach der Drum-Serie widmete sich Marlowe auch anderen Genres, einschließlich historischer Fiktion.
