Fergus Hume

    Fergus Hume wurde für seinen Debütroman, einen internationalen Bestseller, berühmt, obwohl er sich ursprünglich als Dramatiker betätigen wollte. Mit einem tiefen Verständnis für das Krimi-Genre, das er durch das Studium populärer Autoren erwarb, schuf Hume Werke voller literarischer Anspielungen und komplexer Charaktere. Seine verschlungenen Handlungen und seine Auseinandersetzung mit gesellschaftlichen Extremen lösten oft Kontroversen aus und spiegelten seine einzigartige Perspektive wider.
