Ed asked:
"Hasn't this meeting of different series main characters been
done in the past?"
James Crumley's two series PIs, Shugrue and Milodragovitch,
unofficially met in one book (Mexican Tree Duck?), with the
older detective working as a bartender and giving advice but
never being named. However, they went on to costar in another
book. I'm blanking on the title, was it Border Snakes?
I'm sure there are other single author crossovers, but I
can't think of any right now. Do any of Max Allan Collins's
characters cross over between series?
As for crossovers between authors, Gores and Westlake and
Gores and Stark have shared brief crossover scenes. Rob
Kantner's Ben Perkins mentioned fellow Detroit PI Amos Walker
in a book. And then there are collaborations: two or three
Nameless Detective collaborations, Stephen Marlowe and
Richard Prather, etc.
