Sf writer Philp Jose Farmer links the great fictional
characters in sf and mystery including, among many others,
Holmes, Wolfe, Phileas Fogg, Doc Savage. Tarzan and Bulldog
Drummond. One of his books even has family tree showing how
they are related. To keep on topic, Farmer's Nothing Burns in
Hell which was published in 1998 is his version of a hard
boiled detective book. Mark
