  "description": "Loup Durand (1933-1995) was a French crime writer. He was born in Flassans-sur-Issole and studied in Marseille, Aix-en-Provence, London and New York. He worked in a variety of professions such as barman, docker, flight attendant, interpreter, and journalist.\n\nHe began his career as a professional writer at the age of forty-three. He wrote numerous thrillers, some under pseudonyms such as \"H. L. Dugall\" and \"Michaël Borgia\", the latter used with Pierre Rey.\n\nHe won several prizes for his work: 1967 Prix du Quai des Orfèvres for La Porte d'or (written under the pen name HL Dugall); 1976 Prix du roman d'aventures for Un amour d'araignée; 1987 Prix Maison de la Presse for Daddy.\n\nDaddy was translated into English by J. Maxwell Brownjohn. It was made into a bande dessinee illustrated by Rene Follet, and a movie in 2003, featuring Klaus Maria Brandauer.\n\nDurand also wrote scripts, e.g. for the Alain Delon thriller Dancing Machine and for the 1982 TV series The Tiger Brigades.\n\nSource: Article \"Loup Durand\" from Wikipedia in English, licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0.",
