Harold Robbins (1916-1997) was an American novelist who to date has sold over 750 million books, making him one of the top book sellers of all time. He was also a controversial author, as his debut Never Love A Stranger caused quite the stir back in 1948 for its graphic sexuality. His books The Adventurers and The Betsy were both adapted into films.

Since his passing in 1997, his books have been taken over by various ghostwriters including friend Junius Podrug, whose work Robbins admired. The books that have been published posthumously are based on Robbins’ notes and unfinished work.
