> read any of his books under the John Crowe or
William Arden names.
John Crowe is only one of the pseudonyms he used. He also
used Michael Collins, Brett Halliday, Maxwell Grant, William
Arden, Nick Carter, Carl Dekker, and Mark Sadler. He wrote
many stories under the Brett Haliday moniker as well.
Uunder the William Arden name he wrote numerous books in the
childrens' series 'Alfred Hitchcock and the Three
Investigators.'
That series, which is still popular in Germany (?!) has been
left fallow in the U.S., and the publisher only reprints the
first six or so books in the series (which numbered at least
30 at one time) -- and those first ones were mostly or all
written by the series' progenitor, Robert Arthur. A
well-written mystery/thriller series with a deep 'bible' that
kept a high level of quality writing to the series, to me it
was better than the Hardy Boys and their ilk.
