About the authors
Francis Scott (Key) Fitzgerald's (1896-1940) posthumous literary reputation has remained consistently strong despite many highs and lows throughout his brief life. His best-known novel, The Great Gatsby (1925) remains a critical favorite along with Tender is the Night (1934). Most of Fitzgerald's works are loosely based on his life, including his wife Zelda's insanity and his appreciation for personal indulgence and self-destructive excess.

He perfected the form and kept his audience clamoring for the next installment week after week. His innovative narrative structure, intricate plots, and keen grasp of suspense won him international acclaim. One of the most influential writers of his time, Collins has had a lasting impact on the mystery genre and continues to enthrall new fans.
