Harlan Coben (born 1962)
“With over 80 million books in print worldwide, Harlan Coben is one of the most decorated authors of all time. He was the first writer to win all the three awards: Edgar Award, Shamus Award and Anthony Award.”
Raymond Chandler (1888-1959)
He transformed 20th century detective fiction. His protagonist, Philip Marlowe, is synonymous with ‘private detective’, along with Dashiell Hammet’s Sam Spade.
Dashiell Hammett (1894-1951)
‘During the twenties and thirties I lived in various cities large and small, and saw a good deal of gambling and corruption. But I didn’t get a picture of the way cities were run until I found the novels of Dashiell Hammett.’ — Ross Macdonald (American-Canadian writer of crime fiction)
