I am in the middle of writing an article about a 1930s crime
writer who ended up in court because he rewrote another
author's book without permission. This has made me wonder
about crime writers whose lives could have been a plot for
one of their books - that is, are there any crime writers who
were either the victims of serious crime - murder etc, or
ended up in court accused of such a crime? Can anyone think
of anyone?
BY the way, Dane Hartman. The other author was a Leslie Alan
Horvitz, although there seem to be two or three titles -
'Massacre at Russian River' is one - where the author is not
definitely known. Have no idea if these were by Horvitz or
Meyers, or even a third author.
Thanks John
