Peter O'Donnell was also Madeleine Brent, author of such romantic suspense novels as _Tregaron's Daughter_ and _Moonraker's Bride_. His heroines were groundbreaking.
Indeed. One of the greats.
He had an enviable career, that's for sure. Cool guy.
Thanks for posting this, Bill, sad though the news is. I passed the word on to the Modesty Blaise online list, where the result was almost a Greek chorus of sorrow and dismay. His work will indeed live on.
No question about that.
