![]() Whether the early short stories preceded or followed A HALO FOR NOBODY (Simon & Schuster, 1947) is anyone’s guess: my own is that at least the first couple of them came first. It was also early in 1947 that Chambers debuted as protagonist of a hardcover novel. The character he created for the magazine was Peter Chambers, a tough but sophisticated Manhattan private richard (as he prefers to call himself) whose first appearance in short-story form was “A Glass of Milk” ( Esquire, February 1947). At the time of Esquire’s hunt for a new series character he seems to have published nothing, and what the editors saw in him is likewise a mystery. Whether he served in World War II is also unknown. How long he practiced law is unknown, but it does seem clear that he preferred writing to legal work. He was born in New York City on as Henry Cohen and apparently graduated from one of the city’s several law schools in the 1930s. ![]() ![]() About the life of Henry Kane very little has surfaced. ![]()
