Dorothy B. is a member of the Dorothy B. Hughes was a mystery writer, award-winning poet, and literary critic who lived from 1904 until 1993. In a Lonely Place and Ride the Pink Horse are two of her fourteen works, the most well-known of which are In a Lonely Place and Ride the Pink Horse. Both were adapted into films that were well-received. Her writing influenced many other mystery writers in the postwar era, and the films she inspired are still considered some of the best in the genre.

She influenced the next two generations of female mystery authors in particular. She mostly stopped writing fiction in the early 1950s, preferring to concentrate on critique. She won an Edgar Award for Outstanding Mystery Criticism after reviewing mysteries for the Los Angeles Times, New York Herald Tribune, and other publications. The Grand Master Award for literary merit was given to her by the Mystery Writers of America in 1978.
