Herbert Burkholz (December 9, 1929 – April 30, 2006[1][2]) was a novelist and non-fiction author[3] who also had a short tenure as a speechwriter at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.[4][5][6][7]

He penned ten novels.[8] The Washington Post in reviewing his book Brain Damage said of it ..."He has given them a puzzler of fiendish cleverness"...[9]
