some on this list, even me, liked this writer....

[Erik T. Burns]

also "No Comebacks," a book of short stories with the title story a
novella, which I much enjoyed as a kid

(The Day of the Jackal was a teen favorite of mine, the whole Charles
Calthrop side story red herring seemed to me the very pinnacle of clever
plotting)
