Storms in other parts of the U.S. cause far more deaths, injuries and economic losses every year than the relatively infrequent major fires in California do.

He followed his first, Edgar-winning novel, A Kiss Before Dying, with such iconic horror-thriller mega-best sellers as Rosemary's Baby, The Boys from Brazil and The Stepford Wives and later wrote the long-running 1978 Broadway hit Deathtrap.
