Dirty Harry novels

Additionally, after star Clint Eastwood announced he would make no further Dirty Harry films after The Enforcer, Warner Books published twelve new novels attributed to Dane Hartman, a collective pen name used by at least three authors, between 1981 and 1983.

Author and screenwriter Phillip Rock wrote the novelization of Dirty Harry in 1971, based on an early draft of the script.

Stinson, who had rewritten the originally independent script as a Dirty Harry vehicle for Eastwood, adapted the novel in 1983.
