Joan M. Fleming

    27. marec 1908 – 15. november 1980

    Joan Margaret Fleming bola britská autorka detektívnych a trilerových románov. Jej tvorba sa vyznačuje pútavými zápletkami a prepracovanými postavami, ktoré čitateľov vtiahnu do sveta zločinu a intríg. Fleming sa zamerala na psychologickú hĺbku svojich postáv a na skúmanie temnejších stránok ľudskej povahy. Jej literárny prínos spočíva v schopnosti vytvárať nezabudnuteľné príbehy, ktoré si aj po desaťročiach zachovávajú svoju pôsobivosť a napätie.
