MacDonald was prominent in the collection as was Luke Short, Giles Lutz, and other Gold Medal authors. <br /><br />MacDonald wrote another series character, Gregory Quist, a railroad detective. He was the spark that made me ask if I could create a railroad detective. Calvin Carter was the result.<br />Scott D.
