Crime reporter Marc Brody was the author and star of a series of pulpy crime thrillers published in Australia during the 1950s. W. H. Williams was the actual author of Marc Brody, a pseudonym, Williams was also a journalist, and Editor, for Australian tabloid newspaper The Truth. Williams produced about 80 Marc Brody adventures written in his garden shed over a 15 year period.

I'm unclear whether the back cover portrait of Marc Brody was actually author Bill Williams or stand in.
