While not reading your books which I have to admit is most of the time, I like a good detective novel. I am a fan of all the Sherlock Holmes Novels, I thought you might like to Know of a Author Named Larry Millett. His Novels on The Great Holmes are second to none. I think you would like his main Character Shadwell Rafferty, a Civil war soldier,Retired Cop,Bartender, and A-1 Detective. Your Humble Servant Dan Iburg Ret. NYPD
