Hugh B. Cave

    Hugh Barnett Cave byl nesmírně plodný autor, jehož dílo zasáhlo širokou škálu žánrů, od napínavé pulpové fikce po horor a krimi. Své první povídky začal publikovat již v raném věku, často pod různými pseudonymy, aby uspokojil poptávku téměř stovky periodik. Jeho raná tvorba zahrnovala dobrodružné příběhy s morálně nejednoznačnými hrdiny a také znepokojivé hororové povídky. Později čerpal ze svých zkušeností jako válečný zpravodaj a z pobytu na Haiti, kde se ponořil do studia voodoo, což se odrazilo v jeho oceňovaných románech a non-fiction dílech. Cave byl průkopníkem i v oblasti e-knih a jeho rozsáhlé dílo, zahrnující přes tisíc povídek a desítky románů, je dnes připomínáno pro svou stylistickou rozmanitost a neúnavnou imaginaci.

      No longer a Boston police officer, hard-boiled drunk Peter Kane made the easy transition to work as a P.I. Though now in private practice, Kane had a knack for cracking cases while constantly inebriated. Collecting the entire series, along with an all-new introduction by Bob Byrne. Written by Hugh B. Cave, Kane stumbled through nine gin-soaked yarns published between 1934 and 1942 in the pages of Dime Detective, the prestigious crime pulp second only to the legendary Black Mask in its impact on the genre.
