Edgar Award-winning author William L. DeAndrea wrote several mystery series under his own name but also two novels using the pen name Philip DeGrave, one of which has been reissued this week by Mysterious Press as an ebook.
Keep the Baby, Faith was first published in 1986 by Doubleday Crime Club, and features a madcap adventure centered on Harry Ross, the television listings editor for The Grayness, a major metropolitan newspaper patterned after The New York Times (which is commonly known as "the Old Gray Lady").

Keep the Baby, Faith
William L. DeAndres
Pregnant, hunted, and alone, a young woman turns to the only man who can help …
Faith has just enough time to dodge the speeding car. She leaps backwards and falls onto the sidewalk, breaking her thumb in an attempt to protect her pregnant belly. When she picks herself up off the ground, the baby is safe, but Faith is anything but.
Desperate for help from someone she can trust, she turns to her old friend Harry Ross, a frustrated writer with a dead-end job at a prestigious New York paper. He's hungry for adventure and about to get more than his fill. Faith claims that her dying husband's family wants the baby dead, to protect their inheritance. She's survived four attempts on her life over the past few days, and Harry must head off a fifth. When this week is over, Harry will have something he never expected: either a murdered girlfriend, or a family of three.
