George Harmon Coxe

    23 avril 1901 – 30 janvier 1984

    George Harmon Coxe était un auteur américain de fiction policière, dont le style était profondément ancré dans l'ère des magazines pulp. Il s'est plongé dans un genre qu'il aimait, créant une série de personnages mémorables, souvent des détectives et des photographes naviguant dans des crimes complexes. Son travail se caractérise par un rythme soutenu et sa capacité à entraîner les lecteurs dans un monde de mystère et d'intrigue. Coxe n'a pas seulement maîtrisé l'art de la narration de suspense, mais a également vu ses personnages bien-aimés passer à d'autres médias, démontrant leur attrait durable.
