1/ Dan J Marlowe is the HB writer "par excellence"...
Merits of his best novels were already discussed here in the
past, but not details of his life.
- Marlowe seems to be his real family name
- He wrote some stories under the pseudonym Jaime
Sandaval
- he died in 1986 His friendship and tutorial action towards
the jailed Nussbaum is a well documented episode of his
life.
2/ As for *Steve* Marlowe, mentioned in some messages,
this is another writer who was using Marlowe as pseudonym
(homage to RC) for his mysteries writings.
ReaL NAME: Milton Lesser (he used it for his SF works). For
HB novels he used also other pseudonyms: Andrew Frazer, Jason
Ridgway and C Tames. He was a real prolific writer (more than
50 novels). He is still living, I think (?). It was even said
he was, at least once, a ghost for Ellery Queen (as many
other writers were).
Hope this helps.
