Suzanne Blum

Suzanne Blum was a French lawyer and writer under the pseudonym L.-S. Karen with three crime novels. A lawyer, she joined the bar in 1922 and worked on several famous cases, notably representing Warner Brothers against Igor Stravinsky in a copyright case, and Rita Hayworth during her divorce from Prince Aly Khan. Upon the death of the Duke of Windsor, she looked after the assets of Wallis Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor and gradually became her single representative, until her death in 1986; Blum's presence and actions during these years is the subject of controversy.
