No hits on Shane Stevens or J.W. Rider in The Internet Movie
Database. Any idea what films he's written?
I have the sense of a major writer slipping away. Mediocre
pseudonymous PI novels and anonymous or unproduced
screenplays after some brilliant early work
-- although I didn't much care for THE ANVIL CHORUS, the last
book under his own name. But DEAD CITY and WAY UPTOWN IN
ANOTHER WORLD are real achievements, among the best crime
novels ever written, and I'm surprised they're not better
known.
