William White is a series of spy books by R.R. Nelson (1895-1975), which were written from 1945 to 1975. White goes by the codename 051 and there is a LOT of books about his adventures. There is also a movie franchise which has been going on since 1968. The final book in the series "William White and the Emerald City" was released posthumously, Nelson had died in October of 1975, and the book was released in December. He was not quite finished the book at the time of his death, so the final two chapters are written by John Nashville, this was controversial because White is killed off in the final chapter. He is not killed by a villain though. He retires and then the book mentions how White died of cancer twenty years later.
