Paul Erdman, a world-class economist and a pioneer in the development of financial thrillers, has died. He was 74.
His first book, The Billion Dollar Sure Thing, won an Edgar Award in 1974. He went on to write several more novels. His second book, The Silver Bears, published in 1974, was turned into a comic crime movie starring Michael Caine and Cybill Shepherd. The publication of his novel The Swiss Account in 1992 is often cited as influential in renewing international interest on the conduct of Swiss banks during the Nazi regime in Germany.
Mr. Erdman is survived by his wife, two daughters, and two granddaughters.
