苏‧格拉夫顿 Sue Grafton （1940— ）

苏‧格拉夫顿一九四〇年出生于美国肯塔基州路易维尔市，是一位杰出的小说家和电视剧作家。格拉夫顿的创作天赋在早期小说及长篇剧作中已初现端倪。二十世纪八十年代末期，她甚至将阿加莎•克里斯蒂的英国作品改编为充满美国风情的电视剧集。

一九八二年苏•格拉夫顿推出的“金西‧米尔虹探案系列”，每部作品皆按英文字母的排列顺序命名，其创新手法一直为推理小说迷津津乐道。格拉夫顿运用人物侧写的手法，有效地拓展了侦探小说的视野，让人物回归为小说的第一主题，同时也使曲折的情节有更进一步的深化空间。其作品笔触果断、情节多变，读来令人大呼过瘾。

字母系列首部作品《A：不在现场》入选美国推理作家协会（MWA）和英国犯罪家协会（CWA）评出的最经典的一百部推理小说，《B：窃贼》和《C：尸体》接连包揽两届安东尼读者票选最佳小说奖和夏姆斯奖。二〇〇八年，苏•格拉夫顿获得英国犯罪家协会授予的卡地亚钻石匕首奖；二〇〇九年，荣获“爱伦•坡”终身大师奖。她的小说被译为二十六种语言版本，风行全球二十八个国家，至今销售记录达数百万本，堪称侦探小说界的畅销大师。
