James Halloran

Created by Roger Torrey
Pseudonyms include Sam Drake, Samuel Drake, John Ryan, R.D. Torrey
(1901-46)

Yet another of prolific pulpster Roger Torrey’s seemingly endless and virtually indistinguishable supply of private eyes, JAMES HALLORAN appears in, as far as I can tell, only one short story,  “Murder for Rent,” narrated in the first person, in the February 1941 issue of Private Detective Stories, as the featured cover story.

Hmmmm…. I wonder if he’s any relation to Pete Halloran, a similarly rough-and-tough gumshoe who also appears in only one story by Torrey, also narrated in first person.

Although Cousin Pete’s story never made the cover.
