“Absolutely compelling…One of the great masters of narrative.” —San Francisco Chronicle, praise for the author
C. S. Forester was the pen name of Cecil Louis Troughton Smith (1899–1966), an English novelist who rose to fame with tales of naval warfare. His most notable works
are The African Queen and the eleven-book Horatio Hornblower series, depicting a Royal Navy officer during the Napoleonic era. His novels A Ship of the
Line and Flying Colours were jointly awarded the 1938 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction. He is also known for writing gritty psychological thrillers
that took crime writing in a new direction as they portrayed ordinary people turning in desperation to crime.
