Lazy me... I found about his pseudo and didn't check for
works under that name! I found the one you cite, Jim... plus
another both published under his pseudo.
7. 1954 The Pale Door (Delrium tres mince- 1955) 17 1959
Death of a Ladies' Man (Poulet far穭 1960)
So total is now 6 translations in French. You're right, all
of them but one (nb 14) were published by PRESSES DE LA CITE
in their famous "Un Myst貥" collection. This collection of
mainly HB and noir titles was made of a majority of
translations from American and some English novels, but they
included also, rather early, quite a fair number of French
authors They were the direct competitors of SERIE NOIRE,
published by Gallimard in France. Un Myst貥 was founded in
1949 and carried front covers coming from the American
paperbacks of that time or mimicking their style of drawings.
They stopped the series during the mid seventies.
