An introductory note to ''And to My Beloved Husband'' written under the pseudonym Philip Loraine Ace Books, N.Y., (year of publication is missing, originally published by M.S. Mill Co, 1950) the following information is given about the author:
Loraine has also been a sailor in the Royal Navy, a theatrical designer, a dishwasher in Paris, a journalist and a tubercular patient. Years ago he resided in Corsica, but he has also spent five years in the United States, as well as living in Italy, Yugoslavia, Spain and, as seldom as possible, his native England. He liked writing, peace and quiet, sunshine and new places. He disliked bad food, bad manners, people who think of themselves as intellectual, bigotry, politics and politicians. ==Selected novels== *''White Lie the Dead'' (Hodder, 1950) *''Exit with Intent'' (Stoughton, 1950) *''And to my Beloved Husband'' (M&S, 1950) *''The Break in The Circle'' (M&S, 1951) (filmed as ''Break in the Circle'' in 1955) *''The Dublin Nightmare'' (H&S, 1951) (filmed as ''Dublin Nightmare'' in 1958) *''The Angel of Death'' (H&S, 1961) *''Day of the Arrow'' (Collins, 1964) *''W.I.L One to Curtis'' (Collins, 1967) *''The Dead Men of Sestos'' (Collins, 1968) *''A Mafia Kiss (Collins'' 1969) *''Photographs Have Been Sent to Your Wife'' (Collins, 1971) *''Voices in an Empty Room'' (Collins, 1973) *''Ask the Rattlesnake'' (Collins, 1975) *''Lions Ransom'' (Collins, 1980) *''Sea Change'' (Collins, 1982) *''Death Wishes'' (Collins, 1983) 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「Robin Estridge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
