I read somewhere that it was Fawcett who forced Marlowe to
revive Drake and make him something like a international spy.
And the books Marlowe wrote according to this scheme aren't
anything close to "The Name of the Game".

I'd like to hear about this. I'm writing a short article on
Marlowe. He died in 1987 but had stopped writing in mid-70s.
Right now I'm reading
"Raven is a Blood Red Bird", which is credited both to
Marlowe and William Odell. What was the nature of their
collaboration? What other books has Odell written, besides at
least one Nick Carter?
