Peter Hammans
Peter Hammans studied English and American Literature,
Philosophy and Political Science, a PhD in Political Philosophy,
and originally planned for an academic career. Instead he took a
liking to the more diverse world of book publishing where he has
built a career for the last 30 years. He has been with Droemer
Knaur, one of Germany's leading publishing houses for popular
fiction and non-fiction, for nearly 20 years now, currently as a
senior editor mainly focusing on international crime fiction. Among
the authors Peter has published in Germany are such prize-winning
and bestselling masters of the genre as Linwood Barclay, Michael
Connelly, Reginald Hill, John Katzenbach, Val McDermid, David
Morrell, Steve Mosby, Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, but also
authors from Scandinavia, other European countries and his native
Germany.
