Allan Levine

Allan Levine (born 1956) is a Canadian author from Winnipeg, Manitoba, known mainly for his award-winning non-fiction and historical mystery writing. As of 2004, Levine teaches history at St. John's-Ravenscourt School in Winnipeg, and is married with two children.

Life and works

Levine attended the University of Manitoba and the University of Toronto; he got a PhD in Canadian history from Toronto in 1985. His graduate thesis on the grain business in Winnipeg was turned into his first book in 1987, at which point he was already teaching and freelancing as a journalist. He is an alumnus of Camp Massad of Manitoba.

Levine 's non-fiction work "Fugitives of the Forest" was awarded the Yad Vashem Prize in Holocaust History in the 1999 Canadian Jewish Book Awards, and his series of Sam Klein Mysteries have won him a broad audience of mystery lovers. In late 2004, Levine toured Germany promoting "Die Sünden der Suffragetten", the German translation of his mystery "Sins of the Suffragette".
