ORIGINAL: pissthirstysub detectives? Yup, fictional detectives from literature. Joe Leaphorn is a Navajo detective. Tony Hillerman was the author. Hiilerman was a Journalism prof at UNM when I attended there. Travis McGee is John McDonald's detective. Those books are violent and written in an odd, shambling style. The Dave Robichaux series is much superior to the McGee series, but the name Robichaux was too unique. Auguste Dupin was the original detective, in Poe's Murder in the Rue Morgue. Irwin Fletcher is Gregory McDonald's sleuth. He's smart, rebellious, and everything just sort of slides into place for him. Chevy Chase managed to kill the character's appeal effortlesly in the movies. pissthirstysub, it's your turn to pick a quartet.
