Russell Thorndike

    Arthur Russell Thorndike byl britský herec a romanopisec, nejlépe známý romány o Doctoru Synovi z Romney Marsh. Jeho první láskou bylo psaní a po službě v první světové válce se plně věnoval psaní. Ačkoli méně známý než jeho sestra Dame Sybil Thorndike, byl stejně všestranný. Jeho dílo zkoumá nejednoznačnost dobra a zla prostřednictvím poutavých příběhů a nezapomenutelných postav.
