George Harmon Coxe Libri
23 aprile 1901 – 30 gennaio 1984
George Harmon Coxe è stato un autore americano di narrativa poliziesca, il cui stile era profondamente radicato nell'era delle riviste pulp. Si immerse in un genere che amava, creando una serie di personaggi memorabili, spesso detective e fotografi che si muovevano tra crimini complessi. Il suo lavoro è caratterizzato da un ritmo serrato e dalla capacità di attirare i lettori in un mondo di mistero e intrighi. Coxe non solo ha padroneggiato l'arte della narrazione suspense, ma ha anche visto i suoi amati personaggi approdare ad altri media, dimostrando il loro duraturo fascino.
