This Is for Keeps, by George Joseph (Popular Library, 1958). Men’s magazines historian Robert Deis says that Joseph “worked as a lawyer in New Zealand for 40 years. On the side, he wrote hundreds of short stories and a number of fiction and non-fiction books.” Among Joseph’s other works were the novels When the Rainbow Is Pale (1962), Take Any City (1970), Trial and Error (1979), and the non-fiction study By a Person or Persons Unknown (1982), which showcases unsolved New Zealand homicides.

Thanks for the shout out, Jeff! The link you provided goes to my mention of George Joseph in a blog post about the MEN'S ADVENTURE QUARTERLY #8, THE “Heavy Hitters” issue. MAQ #8 reprints classic men’s adventure magazine stories about hit men. One of them is Joseph's story “The Specialist” from FURY, April 1963. It's a good one! MAQ #8 is available on Amazon (https://amzn.to/3pcdEWB) or via my MensPulpMags.com bookstore.
