From what I can figure out, Martin Brett and Malcolm
Douglas were both pseudonyms of Douglas Sanderson, a Brit who
moved to Montreal, became a Canadian citizen, and wrote
several crime books in the late fifties/early sixties,
including at least three featuring private eye Mike
Garfin.
The one I've read, Blondes Are My Trouble, is pretty good.
Not fantastic, but he actually makes some good use of
Montreal as a setting.
If anyone else has any info on him, or any of his books,
please don't be shy -- pass it on. Like this THE DEADLY GAMES
you mentioned, Anders. Is it a P.I. novel?
