Its interesting to note this author had articles on the French and Italian WP's before ours. very often, american noir and other genre writers get more respect in europe than in america, and this appears to be the case. their articles are actually somewhat more comprehensive than this one.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 05:23, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I was not able to find references outside of the authors website. i have used that to provide basic information, along with the obvious existence of his books. i have placed the authors website and the imbd site as external links, as they are not properly references (nor are the french and italian wps)Mercurywoodrose (talk) 05:42, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
