Featured Author
Dennis Lynds (1924-2005) was a renowned author of mystery fiction. He earned a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart during World War II, and in 1967 published the Edgar Award-winning novel Act of Fear under the pseudonym Michael Collins. The book introduced his best known character: the one-armed private detective, Dan Fortune. The Fortune series would last for more than a dozen novels, spanning three decades, and is credited with marking a more politically aware era in private eye fiction. Besides the Fortune novels, the incredibly prolific Lynds wrote science fiction, literary fiction, and several other mystery series.
