All I know is that every time a singing accordion player
showed up at a local bar called The Paddock in Winnipeg where
I used to hang out (a Red Lobster and an Olive Garden now
unfortunately sit on the site), a friend would listen to one
song and then pronounce, "He's no Contino." I guess I was
wrong for all those years in thinking the guy playing Lady of
Spain was a real person.
How about a nomination for Geoffrey Norman's Morgan Hunt, a
convicted murderer turned P.I. in a very underrated series
that must have lost its publisher. If memory serves, the
fourth book of the Florida-based series, Blue Light, was only
published in the UK.
