Joop Wheeler and Kevin Sweeney
Created by Greg Fallis
Charming and courtly southern would-be gentleman JOOP WHEELER, a former newshawk, is partners with tenacious Irish ex-cop KEVIN SWEENEY in G&H Investigations in South Carolina (or north of Boston? Did they move?).
The G&H stands for "Grit and Harp," of course. And "Joop"? Turns out he was named for a dog.
Wheeler and Sweeney are the creation of Shamus-nominated Greg Fallis, who's himself has been a licensed private investigator. But he's probably best known as the co-author, with Ruth Greenberg, of the classic non-fiction work Be Your Own Detective (1989).
