Summary:

"For over half a century-- and, indeed, it's closer to sixty years than fifty-- I've been spending much of my time and earning most of my sustenance writing crime fiction. Over the years I've had occasion to write some nonfiction as well, and a fair amount of it has been about the genre-- about my experiences in it, and, rather more interestingly, about some of my fellow crime writers" -- page 1.
