George Harmon Coxe

    23. apríl 1901 – 30. január 1984

    George Harmon Coxe bol americký autor detektívnej fikcie, ktorého štýl bol silne ovplyvnený érou pulpových časopisov. Ponoril sa do žánru, ktorý miloval, a vytvoril rad nezabudnuteľných postáv, často detektívov a fotografov, ktorí sa pohybovali v spletitých zločinoch. Jeho diela sa vyznačujú napínavým tempom a schopnosťou vtiahnuť čitateľa do sveta plného tajomstiev a intríg. Coxe nielenže majstrovsky ovládal remeslo napínavej fikcie, ale jeho obľúbené postavy prenikli aj do iných médií, čo dokazuje ich trvalý vplyv.

He tries twice to kill himself--first by jumping, next with pills--but doesn't succeed. His doctors recommend a beach vacation with close supervision. For a week Dave Barnum watches his despondent friend drink, fish, and gamble, and gradually grows sick of his ill temper. Finally, convinced that John Gannon has gotten past his suicidal tendencies, Barnum lets his guard down. The mistake proves fatal. That night, at Club 80, someone drugs Barnum's brandy. By the time he makes it home, Gannon is dead. As he inspects his friend's body, the killer wallops him on the skull and escapes unseen. Barnum's job was to protect John Gannon. He failed, and now it's time for some payback.
