Hubert Monteilhet (July 10, 1928 - May 12, 2019)[1] was a French writer of crime and historical fiction. His best-known novels are The Praying Mantises and Return from the Ashes which have been adapted into TV and motion pictures. His works are characterized by their literary sophistication and mordant wit while exploring moral and philosophical issues. He was called "one of the more eclectic and diversified dabblers in crime"[2] and "the most literary of all the French crime novelists."[3]
