Delaney who became Sanders' enduring protagonist in his Deadly Sin series of novels.[1] The book earned Sanders the Mystery Writers of America Edgar Award for best first mystery novel.[2] The same year, it was adapted into a film of the same name, directed by Sidney Lumet, with Sean Connery in the title role.
