In Allen Hubin's usually very accurate massive bibliography
CRIME FICTION IV, Pauline C(Coggeshall) Smith (1908-1994) is
listed as the author of two novels CARNAL GREED (Newstand
Library 1960) and NOTHING BUT BLOOD (Chicago Paperback House
1962).
Hubin does not indicate she was a penname of Robert A.
Arthur, radio producer and writer for programs such as "The
Mysterious Traveler" and "Murder by Experts", both of which
won MWA Edgars. He was also ghost editor for many of the
Alfred Hitchcock anthologies and the author of many fine
short stories himself. By the way, a few years ago I
discovered a truly fine writer by the name of Elizabeth
Arthur and only belatedly learned that she was the daughter
of Robert A. Arthur.
Pauline C. Smith did have many stories in the mystery
digests. She may have also had other novels published (sleeze
and otherwise) but Hubin only covers crime fiction.
