Giorgio Scerbanenco (real name in russian Щербаненко Владимир, in ukrainian Щербаненко Володимир) was an Italian mystery writer.
He was born in Kiev, in what was then the Russian Empire, July 28, 1911. At an early age, his family immigrated to Rome (Scerbaneco's father was a Russian, his mother was Italian), and then he moved to Milan when he was 18 years old.
He found work as a freelance writer for many Italian magazines before becoming a novelist. While Scerbanenco wrote in several genres, he is famous in Italy for his crime and detective novels, many of which have been dramatized in Italian film and television [[1]]. These stories include his Duca Lamberti series of novels and Sei Giorni Di Preavviso (Six Days of Notice).
He died of a heart attack in Milan on October 27 1969
