Gifford (1937-2000) was a bestselling author of thriller novels. Born in Dubuque, Iowa, he moved to Minnesota after graduating from Harvard. After eight years as a traveling textbook salesman, he wrote Benchwarmer Bob (1974), a biography of Minnesota Vikings defensive end Bob Lurtsema. The Wind Chill Factor (1975), a novel about dark dealings among ex-Nazis, introduced John Cooper, whom he would revisit in The First Sacrifice (1994), and was one of several books he wrote set in and around Minneapolis.
He followed it with the Edgar-nominated The Cavanaugh Quest (1976), and The Glendower Legacy (1978), a story about an academic who discovers that George Washington may have been a British spy. The novel was a success, and was adapted for the screen as Dirty Tricks (1981), starring Elliott Gould.
In the 1980’s Gifford wrote under the pennames Thomas Maxwell and Dana Clarins.
