Stephen Marlowe

    Stephen Marlowe, nato Milton Lesser, è stato un prolifico autore con una vasta opera che include oltre cinquanta romanzi. Raggiunse un particolare riconoscimento per la sua serie di storie investigative con il detective privato giramondo Chester Drum. Il protagonista di Marlowe si distingueva dai detective tipici per il suo stile di vita mondano che lo trasportava in luoghi esotici in tutto il mondo. Le sue narrazioni incorporavano spesso il brivido dello spionaggio e, dopo la serie di Drum, Marlowe esplorò altri generi, inclusa la narrativa storica.
