Mike Jahn had an interesting career--he wrote a lot of TV series tie-in novels in the 70s, then did a procedural series about police officer Bill Donovan, then moved into non-fiction writing altogether.
Switch was initially a pretty good series about an ex-con and a retired bunko officer who teamed up to pull stings on criminals. Unfortunately, the series moved away from that premise the second season and became just another TV show.

I never watched this show. Was it any good?
I saw it a time or two. Don't remember a thing about it.

He won an Edgar for Best Paperback for THE QUARK MANEUVER, which would be a good one for a Forgotten Books post.
