Writer Don Tracy was born in New Britain, CT, in 1905. After graduating college he worked for several local newspapers as a reporter, and in 1928 he moved to New York City and got a job as editor of Radio News. In 1934 he published his first novel, "All Sold!", and shortly after that he published his second novel, "Flash". He taught courses at New York's Syracuse University from 1955-60 and wrote a series of well-received historical novels, but concentrated mainly on crime novels. As "Roger Fuller", he wrote novelizations of films, such as Le signe du païen (1954), and scripts for such TV series as Les accusés (1961), L'homme à la Rolls (1963), Le fugitif (1963) and Peyton Place (1964).
