Eleazar Lipsky

Eleazar Lipsky (1911- February 14 1993) was a prosecutor, lawyer, novelist and playwright born in the Bronx, New York, USA. He wrote the novels that formed the basis of two very successful films, "Kiss of Death" (based on a 100-page manuscript) and "The People Against O'Hara" (based on his detective novel). Other novels include "Lincoln McKeever" (1953), "The Devil's Daughter" (1969) and "The Scientists" (1959), a Book-of-the-Month Club selection.

Lipsky, who practiced law until three weeks before his death, was an assistant district attorney for Manhattan in the 1940s and later had a diversified law practice in Manhattan and served as legal counsel to the Mystery Writers of America. Lipsky was active in many Jewish organizations.
