Carter Brown Titles 1951-1956

After Yates signed his contract with Horwitz, he had to write two full-length novels and two novelettes per month. The novelettes are fewer than 34 pages of double columns and tiny print; the novels started in 1953 with Lethal in Love. Presumably the contract was signed around this time; though the Yates family claims that the contract was signed sometime in 1951.
