Auteur van Portrait of a Murderer
Over de Auteur
Anthony Gilbert, the pseudonym of Lucy Beatrice Malleson (1899-1973), is remembered for the creation of Arthur Crook, who unlike aristocratic sleuths like Lord Peter Wimsey and Albert Campion is earthy and occasionally (as editor John Cooper says) "outrageously cheeky," with a sensitivity for the toon meer down-and-outers who are caught up in crime. Beginning in 1936, Gilbert wrote more than 50 novels featuring Arthur Crook, a London lawyer who spends as much time in pubs as in his office, and who goes to outlandish, and not always legal, lengths to clear his clients. Sequel to Murder: The Cases of Arthur Crook and Other Mysteries includes all the Arthur Crook short cases, as well as a selection of Gilbert's other mystery stories. toon minder
