He did write numerous other works, the most famous being The Sundowners, but given the nature of the site we have only included his mystery fiction work in the above bibliography. His main series character was Scobie Malone, although he only appeared in a few books. As can be seen, the publishing priority between England and America switched complicating matters for some collectors. A serious author whose stories are always well plotted, but most impressive are his settings, always changing, original and engaging.
