Pronzini's GUN IN CHEEK mentions two collaborations: THE
VICE-CZAR MURDERS
(1941) by "Franklin Charles" and NO WINGS ON A COP (1950)
under Adams's name. Were you thinking it was one of these, or
did he do others no mentioned by Pronzini? Why did Bellem do
these, I wonder? The money, I guess.
According to Pronzini, Bellem wrote 3,000 pulp stories and a
handful of novels, and in the '50s when the pulps started
dying he moved into TV. I didn't know that, but it's a
sensible transition.
