Synopsis

Sanderson isn’t well known but he should be. He wrote a series of white hot thrillers in the 1950s which were published under his two pseudonyms, Martin Brett and Malcolm Douglas. But he also published a good many novels under his own name, and Stark House is proud to reprint two of them, the first a seedy tale of a Southern California lawyer whose life is ripped apart when he agrees to do a job for a racketeer, the second the story of cross-and-double-cross affair that takes place on the coast of Spain.

About this title

Review:

About the Author:

Ronald Douglas Sanderson was born in Kent, England, in 1920, emigrating to Canada in 1947 after a stint with the Merchant Navy and the R.A.F during WWII. In Montreal, he worked in a Kellogg’s factory, as a jewelry salesman and as a cabaret singer, before publishing his first literary novel, Dark Passions Subdue, in 1952. Drawing inspiration from Mickey Spillane, Sanderson developed a leaner style and started writing hardboiled mysteries under the names Martin Brett and Malcolm Douglas. He left Canada in the early 50s, traveled around the U.S. and Europe, and eventually settled in Spain, where he married and had a son. Sanderson published nearly 25 thrillers in his lifetime, three of which were only published in France, where he enjoyed more popularity than the U.S. He died in Alicante, Spain, in 2002.
