Duffy is not your ordinary hard-boiled private eye. He is a bisexual ex–police officer with an unerring knack for finding himself in London’s strangest, seediest mysteries. Duffy, the series’ first installment, finds him in Soho, his old beat, avenging a murdered housecat. In Fiddle City, Duffy infiltrates the network of thieves in Heathrow Airport—a self-contained city of crime. Putting the Boot In is perhaps the only crime novel ever to tackle both third-rate pro soccer and sexually transmitted disease. In Going to the Dogs, our thoroughly strange hero finds himself at a country estate in the middle of a high-society murder mystery—a case too hairy for any other gumshoe.
