Has anyone here read books by Scottish writer Hugh C. Rae who has also used
pseudonym Robert Crawford? I just finished his THE MARKSMAN (1971) that was
the basis for the three-part BBC show (which I haven't seen). It's an
excellent hardboiled novel, with comic touches, but basically a tragedy of
revenge, in a realistically portrayed Scottish milieu. I've read earlier one
of his novels as by Robert Crawford, COCKLEBURR (1969) and I thought it was
excellent, too.
Any info on what happened to Rae? He seems to be alive, but abandoned
writing in the mid-eighties, after publishing a series of paperbacks (I
presume) under pseudonym James Albany.
