Fergus Hume

    Fergus Hume se proslavil svým debutovým románem, který se stal mezinárodním bestsellerem, ačkoli se zaměřoval na psaní dramat. S hlubokým porozuměním pro žánr detektivního románu, které získal studiem populárních autorů, Hume vytvořil díla plná literárních odkazů a složitých postav. Jeho spletité zápletky a zkoumání společenských extrémů často vzbuzovaly kontroverze a odrážely jeho jedinečný pohled na svět.
