- American novelist and screenwriter who often wrote as Ed McBain. Also used other pseudonyms such as Curt Cannon, Hunt Collins, and Richard Marsten.
- His "87th Precinct" novels--using his "Ed McBain" pseudonym--were the inspiration for the TV series Polizeirevier Hill Street (1981), as well as being, more directly, the basis of another series, "87th Precinct", in 1961.
- He penned more than 100 novels, plays and film scripts.
- Pen name derived from EVANder Childs High School and HUNTER College, both located in New York, both of which he attended. He legally changed his name from Salvatore Lombino to Evan Hunter because he thought Italian writers weren't taken seriously.
- A noted exponent of the sub-genre of police procedural drama.
- I feel that I've been ignored over the years. I think I'm a pretty good writer.
- [reviewing "The Glitter Dome" by Joseph Wambaugh] Let us forever dispel the notion that Mr. Wambaugh is only a former cop who happens to write books. This would be tantamount to saying that Jack London was first and foremost a sailor.
