Hmm, a new name! I think Demouzon has only been mentioned once before on the list, when Mr. Novak was looking for a couple of English translations. Mr. Smith's Thrilling Detective site has a page on him:

He sounds good, and three or four of his books have been translatd into English. Is there a particular one (in any language) that you'd recommend? Mr. Novak, you said you were a friend of his. What's he up to?
