Louis Weinert-Wilton, born as Alois Weinert (11 May 1875 – 4 September 1945) was a Sudeten German playwright and novelist.
During the boom in Krimi films in West German cinema during the 1960s, several of his mystery novels were adapted into films due to their similarity with the popular Edgar Wallace series of Rialto Film.[1]
