Hillary Baldwin Waugh (1920-2008) was born in 1920 in New Haven, Connecticut. He graduated in 1942 from Yale, majoring in art with a music minor. He married Diana MA Taylor in 1951 and became a freelance cartoonist and art teacher.

During his senior year, Waugh enlisted in the United States Navy Air Corps and, after graduation, received his aviator's wings. He served in Panama for two years, flying various types of aircraft. While in military service, Waugh turned his hand to creative writing, completing and publishing his first novel Madam Will Not Dine Tonight, in 1947. In 1949, as the result of reading a case book on true crime, Waugh decided to explore a realistic crime novel. With the cooperation of his fiancée, who was a student at Smith College, Waugh set his police procedural Last Seen Wearing in a fictional women's college. Published in 1952, the book was a significant success and is now considered a pioneering effort exploring relentless police work and attention to detail.After Last Seen Wearing, Waugh went on to publish more than thirty-five detective novels, many aptly described as "hard boiled." His pseudonyms include Elissa Grandower, Harry Walker and H Baldwin Taylor. In 1989, Waugh received a Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America. Waugh died in December 2008.

 

His series characters are Chief Fred Fellows, Lieutenant Frank Sessions and Sheridan Wesley.
