Duffy

Dan Kavanagh

The first novel in a darkly humorous London-based crime series featuring bisexual private detective Duffy.

When Brian McKechnie finds his wife attacked his cat killed and himself blackmailed by a man with a suspiciously erratic accent he engages the services of London's most unusual private eye - Duffy.

A bisexual ex-policeman with a phobia of ticking watches and a love of Tupperware Duffy is anything but orthodox. But he's street smart savvy and takes no nonsense from anyone. Intrigued by McKechnie's case and the ineptitude of his ex-colleagues on the police force Duffy heads to his old patch - the seedy underbelly of Soho - to begin inquiries of his own.

Helped by some shady characters from his past Duffy discovers that while things have changed in his old stomping ground the streets are still mean and the crooks walk arm in arm with the blues.

Full to bursting with sex violence and dodgy dealings DUFFY is a gripping and entertaining crime novel with a distinctly different and entirely lovable anti-hero.
