| biography:
| Novelist, born in London, UK. He inherited the family wine business, but sold up in 1931 to concentrate on novel writing. He produced an enormously popular mix of satanism and historical fiction. Indicative titles in a lurid oeuvre are The Devil Rides Out (1935), The Scarlet Impostor (1942), and The Sultan's Daughter (1963). His three-volume autobiography was published posthumously (1978–80). |
