TCH Jacobs

TCH Jacobs, whose first names are sometimes given as 'Thomas Curtis Hicks', was a pseudonym for Jacques Pendower (1899-1976), a prolific British writer who also wrote thrillers under his own name, westerns as Penn Dower and Tom Curtis, and romances as Kathleen Carstairs, Marilyn Pender and Anne Penn. He also wrote several books on famous homicide cases.

 

Pendower was born in Devon and educated in Plymouth. He joined the British Army towards the end of WW1 and emerged as a Second Lieutenant. He married Muriel Newbury in 1925, and worked as a revenue investigating officer before taking up writing full-time. His series characters (as Jacobs) were Chief Inspector Bernard, Detective Superintendent John Bellamy, Temple Fortune, Jim Malone and Mike Seton. As Pendower he wrote about agent Slade McGinty.
