Colin,
Steve mentioned the Wyatt series, which I also heartily
endorse. My intro to Aussie crime lit, though, was Peter
Corris's Cliff Hardy series. I read 15 of those before I
stopped being able to find them in the states (were there
many more in Oz? the last I read was Matrimonial Causes).
Except for being set in Australia, it was a pretty straight
PI series, but a very good one, one of the many great midlist
PI writers of the '80s, such as Lewin, Valin, Kantner,
Pronzini, Collins, etc.
