Further Information
Robert Lloyd Fish, 1912 - 1981was born in Ohio has
several series characters, Jose Da Silva, Carruthers, Simpson and
Briggs, Jim Reardon and Lieutenant Clancy. He is perhaps best known for
two genres, the police procedural and his Sherlock Holmes pastiches. The
former are of undeniable quality though the later is less clear cut. You
either love the pastiches for their humour or hate them as pointless and
inept parodies. Quite a few books saw no English publication and one or
two of the books were reprinted in paperback format under a different
title. There are numerous uncollected short stories, mostly appearing in
Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine. Also five other books of a
non-criminous nature. |
