Lionel White was an American journalist and crime novelist, several of whose dark, noirish stories were made into films. Also known as L.W. Blanco, White had been a crime reporter and began writing suspense novels in the 1950s. His more than 35 books were all translated into several languages. His earlier novels were published as Gold Medal crime fiction, but when E. P. Dutton began a line of mystery and suspense books, he also wrote for them. He was best known as what a New York Times review called "the master of the big caper."
