Okay, I checked it right away (am trying to evade proofreading a translation of a major American hardboiled novel):

CANARY, GLENN (chron.)
* Interference, (ss) Manhunt Oct 1963
Pure Pulp, ed. Ed Gorman, Martin H. Greenberg & Bill Pronzini, Carroll & Graf 1999

I think it was "Interference", without checking.

One of Canary's short stories was reprinted in, I think, American Pulp some years back. I'll have to check that, unless someone beats me to it.

No, from the description, it doesn't sound as though the first book you is crime-related, but like you, I'm starting to wonder about "The Sadist."

Chances are it's not, as I'm pretty sure I've seen a copy, but I could be wrong about that.

That's quite a pair of famous relatives! I'll mention them in a revised rewrite for the Addenda.

Steve: Here's what I found on "The Damned and the Innocent" ...Happily married couples kidded about infidelity, one [Helen] took one seriously, Now, three or four marriages were on the rocks and three people were insisting "I want you Helen"--her husband, a lover, and a lesbian mistress.
As for "The Sadist." I am drawing a blank. But I would guess this one had more of a crime subplot then the above paperback.

Some interesting bio on Glenn Canary: His great, great Aunt was the real Calamity Jane. (Martha Jane Canary) Also his younger brother is David Canary, who played "Candy" on Bonanza & had that great bar scene with Paul Newman in "Hombre."

Thanks for your input on Glenn Canary. I'll keep digging

I did some research on Glenn Canary for the Addenda to Al Hubin's Revised Crime Fiction IV. The results I came up with can be found at http://www.crimefictioniv.com/

Listed there are the only three paperbacks he wrote that we considered crime-related: Trailer Park Girls, The Prefect Plot, and A Walk in the Jungle.

Can you comment on the possible crime content of the other two?

I have had a mailing address for Mr. Canary for a while, but I never got around to sending him a note. You always regret lapses like this.

My condolences to his family.
