Jack Dwyer
Created by Ed Gorman

Midwestern private eye JACK DWYER is a former cop, with a taste for acting, who displays considerable compassion and a gentle humour as he plies his trade in a thinly-disguised version of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. A good series, worth checking out.

Author Gorman, besides writing the Dwyer series, has created a few other notable P.I.s, particularly Jack Walsh, is one of the better known editors of anthologies in the crime and mystery field, and co-founded, along with Robert J. Randisi, Mystery Scene Magazine. His fiction output also includes several westerns.
