Jon Stephen Cleary (born 22 November 1917) is an Australian

Born in Erskineville Sydney, Australia, Cleary has written
many books, among them Sundowners (1951) and The High

Scobie Malone. A number of Cleary's works have been the

His first novel was the 1947 work, You Can't See Round

Sydney.
Cleary worked as a journalist for the Australia News and
Information Bureau in London from 1948-49 and in New York

Literary Society’s Crouch Medal for Best Australian Novel
in 1950, an Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America
for Best Novel (Peter's Pence) in 1975, and the Australian
Crime Writers Association Lifetime Achievement Award in
1996.
