NAP LOMBARD was the joint pseudonym used by the English author and playwright Pamela Hansford Johnson (1912-1981) and Australian writer and journalist Gordon Neil Stewart (1912-1999). The couple married in 1936 and enlisted as air-raid wardens in London at the outbreak of the Second World War. Under the Nap Lombard pseudonym they co-wrote two entertaining mystery novels, Tidy Death (1940) and Murder's a Swine (1943).
