Michael Brett: The confusion comes probably due to the fact
there are TWO writers with the same name,
-one is British, and Michael Brett is an alias for Miles
Tripp. I do not know more about this one
-one is American and wrote mystery novels of the HB/Noir
type, but I do not recall to have read something by him. His
PI was named Peter McGrath (a series of about ten novels).
Amongst his production: AN EAR FOR MURDER THE FLIGHT OF THE
STIFF LIE A LITTLE, DIE A LITTLE He was born in 1928.
Both not to be confused with Martin Brett, British by birth
but who became a Canadian citizen. He later lived in Europe.
He wrote very pleasant HB novels (end 50's and 60's), some of
them heavily tinted by humor(I've red a bunch of his
novels).
Hope this helps.
