Robert George Dean
Robert George Dean was an American author of detective fiction. He also worked as a journalist, and as an ambulance driver during World War II.
The last few books Dean wrote, under the pseudonym George Griswold, are spy novels that still have a certain fan following. A character known as Mr. Groode, a shadowy British spymaster, figures in all four novels, but his prominence in the plot varies widely from book to book.
