Autorenporträt
Lionel White (1905-1985) was an American journalist and crime novelist who special-ized in dark, noirish stories. Many of his books were eventually made into movies. White had been a crime reporter and began writing suspense novels in the 1950s. He wrote more than 35 books and was best known as what a New York Times review called "the master of the big caper."White's novels included Clean Break (adapted into the 1956 film The Killing), The Snatchers (made into a 1969 film as The Night of the Following Day). Seven years after White's death, director Quentin Tarantino credited him, among others, as an inspiration in his 1992 film Reservoir Dogs.
