Apologies for the mistakes in my last hurried posting.
Obviously, Nick Tosches' bio of Dean Martin is DINO not
DEANO.
I agree with Bill Crider's estimate of Harold R. Daniels. He
had quite a spurt of good little novels in the old Dell First
series of the 1950s. They published some great stuff
including a John D. MacDonald or two and (I think) the first
edition of Jack Finney's THE BODY SNATCHERS. Great package
that usually included a photo of the author, which was rare
for pbs in those days.
The last thing I remember by Daniels was THE HOUSE ON
GREENAPPLE ROAD, which was made into a TV movie with
Christopher George, Janet Leigh and Julie Harris. Anyone
remember the movie? I never saw it.
Doug mentioned Woolrich's STRANGLER'S SERENADE, which I think
was the last, or nearly the last, novel Woolrich published
under the William Irish name. I remember it as one of his
weakest novels, although the opening couple of chapters were
nice. My favorite Woolrich is RENDEZVOUS IN BLACK.
