Fontana Books is the fiction imprint of William Collins first launched in 1953 it published work by Agatha Christie C.S. Lewis Alistair MacLean and Patrick O'Brian amongst others. A pseudonym used by author Edwy Searles Brooks; other pen names that he used were Victor Gunn Rex Madison Reginald Browne Carlton Ross and quite possibly many others that are unrecorded. In 1912 he began writing Sexton Blake stories and in 1915 he began writing stories for the Nelson Lee Library becoming the lead writer of the detective series after which the publication was named.In the 1930s when the fashion for such magazines began to wane He therefore changed to writing hardcover novels for the adult market in 1938; the first such novel was the beginning of the Norman Conquest series of novels entitled 'Mr Mortimer Gets the Jitters'. He wrote the Conquest novels of which there were 51 titles plus some later omnibus editions under the pseudonym of Berkeley Gray. He also wrote around 76 Sexton Blake stories. In all it is thought that he wrote more than 125 crime fiction novels.
