Ed McBain has written under many names, but Jeff Abbott isn't
one of them.
Jeff's a good writer and a fellow Texan, but
hardboiled, he ain't. The two Gold Medal Books by Curt Cannon
are about a private-eye named Curt Cannon. The Richard
Marsten books aren't all of one type. One that I liked was
EVEN THE WICKED, a title that Lawrence Block must have
admired since he used it himself many years after the Marsten
book was published.
