КЛАССИКА ДЕТЕКТИВНОЙ БЕЛЛЕТРИСТИКИ [HARD-BOILED] Когда мы говорим о крутом детективе, нельзя не вспомнить о Роберте Беллеме, может не столь одаренном, как его коллеги Раймонд Чандлер, Дешилл Хэммет, или Росс Макдональд но не меннее популярным в то время.
Роберт Лесли Беллем родился 19 июля 1902 года. Литературные псевдонимы Ellery Watson Calder, Harley L. Court, Walt Bruce, John Grange, Nelson Kent, Kenneth A. Nelson, John A. Saxon, Jerome Severs Perry, Richard Lathrop Steed & Harcourt Weems. Прежде чем стать писателем Беллем работал в Лос-Анджелесе в качестве репортера газеты, диктором на радио и телевидении. Уже позднее после спада интереса к журнальным произведениям Беллем работал на телевидении. Он работал над адаптацией для телевидения таких известных произведений как Приключения Супермена (версия 1950 года) и сериал о Перри Мейсоне.
До ухода на телестудию он был известен как плодовитый писатель журнальных публикаций (pulp magazine). Он писал в самых разных под-жанрах детектива, включая журналы где детективное расследование подавалось с добавлением сексуального контекста Spicy Detective.
Самым известным героем Беллема является крутой голливудский детектив Дэн Тернер
Dan Turner, чьи похождения начинались как в журналах с детективными рассказами и сексуальным фоном, но переросли в обычные детективы. Особый колорит этим рассказам придавало наличие жаргона, что являлось необычным явлением для тех лет.
Беллем являлся хозяином и издателем журнала Hollywood Detective, который существовал с января 1942 по октябрь 1950. Среди других популярных героев, созданных Беллемом был Ник Рэнсом Nick Ransom, Jeff Quinlan, Sam Welpton, Cliff Downey, Little Jack Horner, Rusty Regan, Sergeant Nolan и Duke Pizzatello. Всего в наследии писателя насчитывается боле трех тысяч рассказов. Наиболее известный его роман Blue Murder
Phoenix Press, 1938.
Библиография рассказов и небольших повестей далеко не полная. Даже сам автор не смог написать весь список своей короткой прозы.

Dan Turner
Дэн Тёрнер, также известный как Голливудский сыщик — вымышленный Р.Л.Беллемом частный детектив. Впервые он появился на страницах второго выпуска pulp-журнала Spicy Detective в июне 1934 года, и произведения о нём продолжали публиковаться в этом журнале (в 1943 году переименованном в Speed Detective) до его закрытия в феврале 1947 года. Они также печатались в “собственном” журнале этого персонажа “Hollywood Detective”, выпускавшемся издательством Culture Publications (позднее Trojan Publishing) с января 1942 года по октябрь 1950 года.
Дэн Тёрнер - типичный частный сыщик из hard-boiled, работающий в лос-анджелесском районе Голливуд. Действие большинства сюжетов происходит на киностудиях или рядом с ними, а в преступления вовлечены люди из кино-бизнеса - звёзды, каскадёры, продюсеры, агенты по кастингу, люди из массовки и бесконечное множество гламурных старлеток. Книги о Дэне Тёрнере примечательны подчёркиванием сексуальных аспектов, хотя на них чаще намекают, чем прямо описывают.
Большинство произведений о Дэне Тёрнере написал сам Беллем, имевший опыт работы в массовке и знавший Голливуд изнутри. В "Hollywood Detective" также печатались комиксы о Тёрнере, нарисованные Max Plaisted. В иллюстрациях к произведениям Беллема образ Тёрнера впервые создал Адольф Барро Adolphe Barreaux.
Все произведения о Дэне Тёрнере написаны от первого лица, придающим им особый колорит живым, изобилующем слэнгом стилем. Оружие в его произведениях никогда не называется просто револьвер или пистолет, а “стволы”, “пушки”, “пукалки” и т.д и т.п. Женщины не просто “женщина”, а “крошки”, “малышки” или “куколки”.
Несмотря на свои связи в Голливудом, в то время Тёрнер появился только в одном фильме, “Шантаж”
(англ. Blackmail) — фильм нуар режиссёра Лесли Селандера, который вышел на экраны в 1947 году., по мотивам одного из рассказов самого Беллема. Гораздо позже, в 1990 году, был снят “The Raven Red Kiss-Off”, также известный “Dan Turner, Hollywood Detective”. Автором сценария был John Wooley на основе рассказа Беллема “Homicide Highball”, опубликованного в феврале 1950 года в “Hollywood Detective”.

Nick Ransom
Какой частный детектив потеряет сознание от удара безногого и однорукого человека?
Голливудский каскадёр, ставший детективом, Ник Рэнсом был ещё одним частным сыщиком Роберта Лесли Беллема, хотя работа детективом, по крайней мере в начале, не являлась его официальной работой. Нет, он был владельцем “Риск Инкорпорейтед”, агентства, нанимавшего смельчаков и сорвиголов, которые соглашались на разнообразную работу, от каскадёрства до создания “захватывающих кадров” для различных голливудских студий.
Тем не менее, Рэнсом не протирал штаны в офисе. Он, конечно, щеголял пластиковым мундштуком с серебряной филигранью, который ему подарил клиент, но ещё он носил ствол под мышкой и знал, как его применить, даже если утверждал, что использует его только время от времени, чтобы “произвести впечатление на потенциальных клиентов”. Иногда Нику помогает приятель из отдела убийств, Уле Брунвиг, один из самых злых копов.
Первое появление Ника состоялось на страницах Detective Dime Novels, в апреле 1940 года, последнее – в августе 1950, в Thrilling Detective. Всего он появился в четырнадцати рассказах и повестях.
