Willis Todhunter (W. T.) Ballard was an American author, known for his Westerns and mystery stories, novelettes, and book-length novels. A tremendously prolific author of pulp fiction, he wrote hundreds of magazine stories, almost all in the mystery and western genre. Ballard also wrote under many pseudonyms (Jack Slade, Neil MacNeil, Clay Turner, John Hunter, Sam Bowie, Parker Bonner, and Brian Agar) apparently to avoid confusing his fans when writing in different genres. His best-known character was Bill Lennox, a motion picture troubleshooter acting as a private investigator, who appeared in dozens of short stories and five novels.
"Models for Murder" is a novelette published in the August 1945 issue of "Private Detective" magazine.
