Michael Z. Lewin

    21. júl 1942

    Michael Zinn Lewin je americký autor detektívnej fikcie, ktorého diela sa často odohrávajú v jeho rodnom Indianapolise. Jeho detektív Albert Samson je známy svojim nenápadným, neagresívnym prístupom k riešeniu prípadov. Lewin, ktorý teraz žije vo Veľkej Británii, tiež skúma prostredie Anglicka, kde vytvoril sériu o rodinnej detektívnej agentúre Lunghi. Okrem žánrovej tvorby napísal aj niekoľko samostatných románov, vrátane satirického diela zasadeného čiastočne do neba, ktoré ukazuje šírku jeho literárnych záujmov.
