Michael Angelo Avallone was a prolific American author of mystery and secret agent fiction, and novelizations based on TV and films. He claimed a lifetime output over 1,000 works, including novels, short stories, articles, published under his own name or 17+ pseudonyms.
His first novel, The Tall Dolores 1953 introduced Ed Noon PI. After three dozen more, the most recent was 1989. The final volume, "Since Noon Yesterday" is, as of 2005, unpublished.
Tie-ins included Man from U.N.C.L.E., Hawaii Five-0, Mannix, Friday the 13th Part III, Beneath the Planet of the Apes and even The Partridge Family. In late 1960s novellas featured U.N.C.L.E.-like INTREX. He is sometimes cited incorrectly as the creator of Man from U.N.C.L.E. (as in the January 1967 issue of The Saint Magazine), or having died March 1.
As Troy Conway, Rod Damon: The Coxeman novel series 1967-73, parodied Man from UNCLE. An unusual entry was the novelization of the 1982 TV mini-series, A Woman Called Golda, the life of Golda Meir.

Summation from back cover: Walter Woody amassed a huge empire. But he's been secretly dead for years, a secret that the executors want to keep. A novelist is paid half a million to write an authorized biography, but Maximiliano Sacco has been sent to offer Noon a million bucks to silence the biographer. An explosion causes the plane they are in to crash-land. When Noon awakens, he is in the desert, there is no Sacco and now he has to decide if he is dead or insane.
This would be book 32 of the series based on David Avallone's (author's son) listing at Amazon. It is not available in ebook (but I scanned it and converted it so I could read the darn thing!).
By itself, this was a very good, if confusing story. One of those books where you can't cheat and go to the end to find out what happened because well, it won't make sense. It's a definite end to the Ed Noon series. I don't want to say more as it will reveal too much.
