Overview: Raoul Whitfield , who wrote under his own name and the pseudonym Ramon Decolta, was nearly as productive as Erle Stanley Gardner for a brief period. Born in 1898 in New York City, young Whitfield went to the Philippines with his father, who served in the U.S. Territorial government. He visited Japan, China and other ports that served him as settings later on. Sent back to the States to recover from an illness in 1916, Whitfield landed in Hollywood and worked as a silent screen actor. He resembled the later actor Cary Grant right down to his cleft chin, but acting bored him. When World War I began, Whitfield signed up and connived his way into pilot’s training. By 1918 he was an aviator in France, and although he only flew combat towards the war’s end, he used his experience later in dozens of air-adventure stories that Black Mask and other pulps prized.
Green Ice (1930) : The story begins with Mal Ourney’s release from a two-year prison sentence. While in prison Ourney apparently develops sympathy for the small-time crooks he meets, and hatches a plan to get the big guys when he gets out. Rumors of this spread outside the prison walls and he is a target for a frame-up within hours of his release.
The Virgin Kills (1932) : Millionaire gambler Eric Vennel’s yacht, "Virgin," sets sail for the Regatta at Poughkeepsie with an oddball assortment of uneasy companions–hardheaded sportswriter Al Conners; beautiful actress Carla Sand; her rival gossip columnist Rita Veld, oversized brute Mick O’Rourke and a large sampling of East and West-Coast society. Rumors of Vennel’s extensive wagering on the Regatta, and a midnight attack, raise the tension to the point of murder.
Death in a Bowl (1931) : The only novel to feature Ben Jardinn, a two-fisted, hard-drinking PI with an office just a couple of blocks from Grauman’s Chinese Theatre. Hardly a cat-and-goldfish story, Death in a Bowl is about a murder that takes place in the Hollywood Bowl during a concert, with a lot of action and some surprising twists at the end.
