The Scottish accountant, novelist, and Catholic convert, Bruce Marshall escaped Paris just two days before the Germans invaded, served in the army through the war, and then returned to France when the war ended. Perhaps best known now for Father Malachy's Miracle and The World, the Flesh, and Father Smith, he also wrote spy stories and stories with accountants as heroes. He died in 1987, at the age of eighty-seven.
