Subject: Cecil John Lanham Parker
X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: from multipart/alternative
X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: Alternative section used was text/plain
My interest in Parker is because of his appearance in my "Crime Fiction IV: A
Comprehensive Bibliography 1749-2000," but I appeal to this forum for a death
date (I show him born in 1899) because he might have been a South African and
is reported to have been a broadcaster of some sort. Anyone recognize the
name?B He appeared in print as Peter Lanham.
