McKnight and Whittington both lived in the St. Petersburg, Florida area. As this was McKnight's first novel, I wonder if Whittington advised him during the composition or opened the door for McKnight at Ace Books or both.
McKnight had been a pilot in the military and used that background in several novels including this one. He was also a well-known horse racing handicapper and wrote several popular books on how to win money at the race track.
Because I own this book. And a big thank you to Richard Moore for making it possible. (Click on a pic to enlarge it.)

Is the book any good?
Haven't read it yet, but I'll get around to it eventually. The flip side looks interesting, too.
Gee, I bought a rubber stamp on eBay that makes the same inscription. The seller was Richard Moore. What a coincidence.
