Page history last edited by Bill Kelly 14 years, 7 months ago

Francis Bonnamy was the pseudonym of Audrey Boyers Walz (1906-1983), an American writer.

Peter Utley Shane was her series detective and appeared in at least eight novels, beginning with Death by Appointment (1931). Shane is a criminologist in Chicago who gets involved in some very dangerous cases, several of which require him to leave Chicago for Montana, Washington D.C., and New York. Shane is Watsoned by his friend, Francis Bonnamy. Shane is well-read and sophisticated. Shane is "the man in gray" -- gray hair, moustache, eyes, and clothes. During WWII Shane is a Major in Military Intelligence, and Bonnamy a civilian attached to the Signal Corps.
