  GENEVA:
  British-born author Magdalen Nabb, whose crime novels about a quirky
  Italian investigator were acclaimed by her idol Georges Simenon, has
  died, her Swiss publishing house said Tuesday. She was 60.

  Nabb,
  who also wrote stories for children and young adults, died of a stroke
  on Saturday [August 18, 2007] in Florence, Italy, where she had lived
  and worked since 1975, said Diogenes Verlag AG of Zurich....

  Nabb published 13 books for children and young adults, including "The Enchanted Horse," "Twilight Ghost" and the "Josie Smith" series about a "girl who always has plenty of ideas."

  “A twilight ghost doesn’t come to
  frighten people, though it might
  want to tell them something.
  A twilight ghost is just
       a kind of long lost memory...."
