Biography

Novelist, short-story author, educator, and private investigator. He authored two novels adapted into feature films: "The Detective" (1966), which was made into The Detective (1968), and "Nothing Lasts Forever" (1979), which inspired Die Hard (1988). His 1986 novel "Rainbow Drive" was later adapted into a television movie. He taught literature and gave lectures on creative writing at various schools and colleges in New Jersey and California, and contributed articles to newspapers and magazines. Earlier in his career, as a recent college graduate, he worked at a detective agency owned by his father.
