Autor

Louis Joseph Vance was a prominent American novelist and a master of the mystery genre who gained significant acclaim in the early 20th century. Born on September 19, 1879, in Washington, D.C., Vance began his literary career after graduating from the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute and pursuing various occupations, including advertising and journalism. He rose to fame with the creation of the 'Lone Wolf' character, Michael Lanyard, which first appeared in the novel 'The Lone Wolf' (1914). This charismatic gentleman thief turned detective captivated readers and led to multiple sequels, some of which are featured in the 'LONE WOLF Boxed Set – 5 Detective Novels in One Edition.' Vance's writing style was characterized by its brisk narrative, snappy dialogue, and intricate plotting. His works reflect the shifting moral landscapes of post-Victorian America while simultaneously engaging with the timeless themes of crime, identity, and redemption. The appeal of his 'Lone Wolf' series was such that it spurned film adaptations, comic strips, and radio shows, cementing Vance's impact on popular culture. Louis Joseph Vance's prolific output included over 30 novels, and his work remained popular throughout his lifetime until his untimely death in a house fire on December 16, 1933.
