Autoren-Porträt von Frank Lucius Packard
Frank Lucius Packard (1877-1942) was a Canadian novelist best known for his mystery and adventure stories. His work often delved into the underbelly of society, featuring criminals and detectives alike, and is marked by vivid characterizations and intricate plots. Packard's professional writing career effectively commenced with the publication of his novel 'The Miracle Man' in 1910, which would later be adapted into a successful Broadway play and subsequently a film. However, it was his series featuring the character Jimmie Dale, also known as 'The Gray Seal', starting with 'The Adventures of Jimmie Dale' (1917), that solidified his reputation as a master of the crime genre. 'The White Moll' (1920) is another of Packard's noted works, introducing readers to a female protagonist who is both victim and detective in the dark streets of New York. Packard's narratives, often set in the roaring twenties and the Great Depression, reflect the era's societal tensions and the fascination with the dichotomy of good versus evil, law versus crime. A contemporary of writers such as Edgar Wallace and E. Phillips Oppenheim, Packard's contributions to the crime and adventure genres were significant in shaping early 20th-century popular fiction. His literary style incorporates suspenseful storytelling with a close attention to psychological detail, making his novels appealing to those interested in the complexities of human nature and the thrills of the crime-solving process.
