Fantasy Detective

Bernal Fitzhugh hade många strängar på sin lyra. Han var inte bara skeppsläkare hos amiral Sir Francis Drake utan även spion för drottning Elizabeth av England.

Slaughter (1908-2001) var en amerikansk författare vars böcker har sålt i cirka 60 miljoner exemplar över hela världen.
