Edmund Lester Pearson bol americký knihovník a autor, ktorý sa preslávil svojím písaním v žánri „true crime“. Jeho dielo sa vyznačuje hlbokým záujmom o temnejšie stránky ľudskej povahy a spoločenské záhady. Pearson sa sústredil na detailné a analytické spracovanie skutočných kriminálnych prípadov, čím čitateľom ponúkol prenikavý pohľad do psychológie páchateľov aj obetí. Jeho prístup k žánru true crime je považovaný za vplyvný a dodnes inšpiruje autorov zaoberajúcich sa podobnými témami.
Pearson's groundbreaking study of the art and science of secret writing remains a classic of the genre. Drawing on a wide range of historical and literary sources, he provides a compelling overview of the many different methods of code and cipher creation and decoding, from ancient times to the present day. With its engaging prose and fascinating insights, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in cryptography or espionage.
