Jim D. and others:
"There were a half-dozen or so novels based on the CANNON TV
series, written (or credited to) three different writers,
Richard Gallagher, Paul Denver, and Douglas Enfer. I've never
heard of any of these writers, and for all I know, they may
have been "house names" that the publisher slapped onto the
books regardless of who they actually hired to write
them."
None actually. Richard Gallagher is a pseudonym of Leonard
Levinson (1935-) of whom there was a profile in Paperback
Parade a while back (I haven't seen it, but that's what I
heard). Davis has written under a bunch of names: Gordon
Davis, Leonard Jordan, Philip Kirk, Robert Novak, Philip
Rawls, Bruno Rossi, Jonathan Trask, Jack Bodine and Josh
Edwards. Some of them are Westerns. I don't know what he's
doing now.
I think Gallagher started out writing for men's magazines in
the early sixties. There's an entry for him in Lee
Server's
"Encyclopedia of Pulp Fiction Writers". Server points out
his
"The Last Buffoon" (as by Leonard Jordan, 1980), which is a
non-genre paperback about a bottom-dwelling novelist.
Douglas Enefer (not Enfer) and Paul Denver are one and the
same guy. He was British, actually, and wrote Michael Power
PI novels in the early sixties for a British paperback
publisher, Consul. I think Jacques Barzun mentions his police
procedural novel in "A Catalogue of Crime" (I forget the
novel's title). He lived 1906-1987.
