Dolores Hitchens

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Julia Clara Catharine Dolores Birk Olsen Hitchens[1] (1907–1973), better known as Dolores Hitchens, was an American mystery novelist who wrote prolifically from 1938 until her death. She also wrote under the pseudonyms D. B. Olsen[2], Dolan Birkley[2] and Noel Burke[2].

Hitchens collaborated on five railroad mysteries with her second husband, Bert Hitchens, a railroad detective[2], and also branched out into other genres in her writing, including Western stories. Many of her mystery novels centered around a spinster character named Rachel Murdock.

Hitchens wrote Fools' Gold, the 1958 novel adapted by Jean-Luc Godard for his film Band of Outsiders.
