The Charles Williams I meant is the author of River Girl (my favorite) and other Gold Medal and Dell First Edition classics. The guy John D. MacDonald said "may just be the best of all of us." A lot of his later books dealt with the sea, but I prefer the earlier ones: Nothing in Her Way, The Big Bite, A Touch of Death, Hell Hath no Fury, the aforementioned River Girl.
Among others. If you like hardboiled and noir and haven't read that Charles Williams, you're missing a real treat.
