I don't know about Gatsby as a PI novel but F.Scott
Fitzgerald was William Campbell Gault's favorite writer and
often praised Fitzgerald and Gatsby. Gault was a member of
the same writer's group as Ross McDonald (Kenneth Millar) and
they maintained a sometimes prickly relationship. Perhaps the
prickly aspect began when Millar introduced Gault to his wife
Margaret Millar and Gault, ever gallant, took her hand and
said "I'm glad to at last meet the real writer in the
family." Despite that, Millar dedicated his last novel to
Gault.
