Howard Browne was "John Evans," if nothing nor no one else
has reminded you...Browne comes up here from time to
time...from ghosting a Spillane story when HB was editor of
FANTASTIC to writing a story a ROCKFORD FILES was based
on...and I keep meaning to find his book-length
memoir...

Finished this one a couple days ago. It's my first book by
Evans. It's about a private detective based in Chicago
searching for a missing girl from Kansas. Paul Pine is
knocked out a couple times, is first on the scene at more
than one murder, is framed for murder, sucks face with the
chicks and spars with the cops . In spite of cliches that
were well-worn even in 1949 when the book came out, Evans's
writing is sharp and moving and well worth reading.
