Autorenporträt
Louis Joseph Vance (1879-1933) was an American novelist noted for his creation of the immensely popular character Michael Lanyard, also known as 'The Lone Wolf,' a jewel thief turned private detective in a series of intricately plotted and fast-paced novels. Born in Washington, D.C., Vance spent his formative years in Brooklyn. He pursued art education at the New York School of Art but it was his literary pursuit that eventually carved his niche in the annals of popular fiction. 'Red Masquerade' is among the lesser-known works of Vance's extensive oeuvre, yet it exemplifies his signature blend of adventure, mystery, and romance that captivated early 20th-century readers. Best known for 'The Lone Wolf' series, Vance adeptly combined suspense with sharp dialogue, creating a literary style that presaged and influenced the hard-boiled detective genre. Despite his popularity in the early 1900s, he is less known today, though his works remain an essential component in understanding the evolution of crime and adventure novels in American literature. Vance's flair for creating compelling characters and gripping narratives keeps him recognized among scholars and enthusiasts of classic pulp fiction. His works, including 'Red Masquerade,' still entertain readers with their rich storytelling and are often noted for their cinematic qualities, a testament to Vance's visionary narrative style.
