I think it was. His writing career started as early as in the
thirties in some pulp magazines, where he wrote as
Ronns.
Floyd Mahannah has also been one author, I've been meaning to
ask about, but haven't had time to read his one translated
novel. But there's one guy who strikes me as quite good: Paul
Denver, who wrote a rather Chandler-like P.I. novels about
Michael Power in the early sixties. I've read one, it was
short, but very good. Later on Denver wrote stuff like Cannon
novelizations, which never seems an interesting thing to
do.
Also William Woolfolk comes to mind. I've read one of his
novels, "Run While You Can" from the midfifties. In it the
police officer protects this woman who is being accused of
murdering his lover. It's a love story told in a very cool
manner and the people seem very detached. It wasn't totally
succesful book, but I found it interesting enough to be
underrated.
