PJ Wolfson is the author of a novel which qualifies as a
masterpiece of the genre: BODIES ARE DUST; being issued in
1931 does certainly not indent its merit!
You will find probably more traces of Wolfson as a
scriptwriter for Hollywood and TV. He died in 1979.
As a matter of coincidence, I'm re-reading this book now (a
translation in fact, as I could not locate a copy of the
original), to check if my feeling about this novel I red many
years ago still holds.
