Here's a vote for johnny dollar.
 https://archive.org/details/OTRR_Certified_Yours_Truly_Johnny_Dollar <--- public domain, you can get the recordings of virtually the entire series here free and legit. For over twelve years, from 1949 through 1962 (including a one year hiatus in 1954-1955), this series recounted the cases "the man with the action-packed expense account, America’s fabulous freelance insurance investigator, Johnny Dollar". Johnny was an accomplished 'padder' of his expense account. The name of the show derives from the fact that he closed each show by totaling his expense account, and signing it "End of report... Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar".
... On October 3, 1955, after a hiatus of over a year, the show came back with a vengeance. A new production team, including director/writer Jack Johnstone, a new star, Bob Bailey, from the radio series Let George Do It, and a new format would set the series apart from its competitors. Johnny's cases were now a continuing serial, five days a week, for fifteen minutes each evening. With 75 minutes of airtime, minus commercials and openings and closings, there was sufficient time to develop good storylines and interesting characters. During this time, Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar attracted some of the best writers in Hollywood, including Jack Johnstone, E. Jack Neuman (using the pen name John Dawson), Robert Ryf, and Les Crutchfield. Bob Bailey also wrote a script while he was playing Johnny Dollar. He used the pen name Robert Bainter (Bainter was his middle name) as the scriptwriter for "The Carmen Kringle Matter", which was aired on Saturday, December 21, 1957 on the West Coast, and on the following day for the rest of the country. |

Quoted: Garrett by Glen Cook, hands down. Don't get your panties in a twist because it's set in fairyland, these are the real deal. I'd put Travis McGee and Dresden in the top 10, along with Miller from The Expanse. Anyways, what is your favorite film, book or tv series? Burke, Baby Boy From the Andrew Vachss novels. His dog, Pannsy was an absolute badass as well. |

I read Glenn Cook when I was maybe 17-20. At that point I only read SiFi and Fantasy. Yes, he was good.
At one point in my life, I ended up stuck in a cabin for about six months. It was stocked with every John McDonald ever published... and I read McDonald because that was what had been toted in. Has to be Travis McGee. |

I read The Long Lavender Look when I was - I would guess - 22, and I was hooked. I read them all, as fast as I find them. I’m pretty sure I’ve read most of them two or three times. John D. McDonald was far and away the best of the schlock crime novelists. The Davenport books are an order of magnitude better. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Are you a fan of the genre? Generally, "harboiled detective" characters aren’t cops, they’re PIs. It’s just a question of before or after they got fired. |
