Louis Joseph Vance (September 19, 1879–December 16, 1933) was an American novelist, born in Washington, D. C., and educated in the preparatory department of the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute. He wrote short stories and verse after 1901, then composed many popular novels. His character "Michael Lanyard", also known as "The Lone Wolf", was featured in eight books and 24 films between 1914 and 1949, and also appeared in radio and television series. Vance was separated from his wife (whom he married in 1898 and by whom he had a son the next year) when he was found dead in a burnt armchair inside his New York apartment; a cigarette had ignited some benzene (used for cleaning his clothes or for his broken jaw) that he had on his body and he was intoxicated at the time. He had recently returned from the West Indies, where he gathered material for a new book. The death was ruled accidental. ==Bibliography== *''Terence O'Rourke'' (1904) *(at Internet Archive ) *''The Private War'' (1906) *''The Brass Bowl'' (1907) *(at gutenberg ) *''The Black Bag'' (1908) *(at gutenberg ) *''The Bronze Bell'' (1909) *(at gutenberg ) *''The Pool of Flame'' (1909) *(at Internet Archive ) *''Fortune Hunter'' (1910) *(at gutenberg ) *''No Man's Land'' (1910) *(at Internet Archive ) *''Cynthia of the Minute'' (1911) *''The Bandbox'' (1912) *(at gutenberg ) *''The Day of Days'' (1913) *(at gutenberg ) *''Joan Thursday'' (1913) *(at gutenberg ) *''The Trey O' Hearts: A Motion Picture Melodrama'' (1914) *(at Internet Archive ) *''The Lone Wolf'' (LW1) (1914) *(at gutenberg ) *''Nobody'' (1915) *(at gutenberg ) *''Sheep's Clothing'' (1915) *''The False Faces'' (LW2) (1918) *(at gutenberg ) *''The Dark Mirror'' (1920) *''Alias the Lone Wolf'' (LW3) (1921) *(at gutenberg ) *''Red Masquerade'' (LW4) (1921) *(at gutenberg ) *''Linda Lee Incorporated'' (1922) *(at gutenberg ) *''Baroque: A Mystery'' (1923) *''The Destroying Angel'' (1923) *(at gutenberg ) *''The Lone Wolf Returns'' (LW5) (1923) *''Mrs. Paramor'' (1923) *''Road to En Dor'' (1925) *''The Dead Ride Hard'' (1926) *''White Fire'' (1926) *''They Call It Love'' (1927) *''Speaking of Women'' (1930) *''Woman in the Shadow'' (1930) *''The Lone Wolf's Son'' (LW6) (1931) *''The Trembling Flame'' (1931) *''Detective'' (1932) *''Encore the Lone Wolf'' (LW7) (1933) *''The Lone Wolf's Last Prowl'' (LW8) (1934) *''The Street of Strange Faces'' (1934) *''The Lone Wolf and the Hidden Empire'' (1947) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Louis Joseph Vance」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
