I've heard this but I don't think it's true. CONTRABAND appeared just a few months after Adams died. At the time of his death, CONTRABAND was already being announced as an upcoming release in some of the trade magazine obits.

THE VICE CZAR MURDERS, NO WINGS ON A COP, and the last Rex McBride novel, SHADY LADY, all of which were completed by Bellem, all appeared years later.
