The best-selling American author, Lawrence Sanders, was born on March 15, 1920 in Brooklyn, New York, but grew up in the Midwest. He attended Wabash College in Indiana and earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism in 1940. After returning to New York, Lawrence enlisted in the United States Navy and served from 1943 to 1946.
Lawrence took a variety of jobs including writing and editing for various magazines, including Science and Mechanic. Several of his mystery stories were published in Swank magazine in 1968-1969.
In 1970, at age 50, Lawrence Sanders’ first novel, The Anderson Tapes, was published, and he won the Edgar Prize for Best First Mystery Novel. This award is highly coveted and the most prestigious awarded by the Mystery Writers Association.
Lawrence Sanders went on to write fiction full time. With Anderson Tapes, we are introduced to Edward X. Delaney, a tough investigator from New York. Other characters in the Lawrence Sanders series are Archy McNally, Timothy Cone, and Peter Tangent. Then there are the protagonists of the Commandment, Dora Conti, Samuel Todd and Joshua Bigg.
In addition to his series, Sanders wrote 15 independent novels before publishing his memoirs, The Sins of Lawrence Sanders in 1984.
Lawrence Sanders died in Pompano Beach, Florida on February 7, 1998. There was some controversy regarding his Archy McNally Series. Who really wrote the first books? Did Sanders and Vincent Lardo write the books together? Was Vincent Lardo the true author? Or, was he (allegedly) commissioned by the Lawrence Sander state to continue writing.
