That'd be Dan Kavanagh. I read the first, Duffy, a long, long
time ago.I remember little about it except that I liked it
enough to get thenext, Fiddle City. I've since picked up two
more in he series. Keep meaning to get back to him, reread
the first and follow through.
As I recall the first, Duffy, is pretty good: featuring a
1970s bisexual PI, ahead of the curve. The second, Fiddle
City, set in Heathrow airport, was OK, the third one, set in
the world of soccer, was indifferent, and the fourth and
final one was a godawful country house mystery.
