Nicky Mahoun
Created by (Alexander) Clark Smith (1919- )

The British writer, Clark Smith, wrote three pretty good noir novels in the 1950s set in the business world, featuring NICKY MAHOUN who was, like David Dodge's James "Whit" Whitney, a chartered accountant.

But not everyone liked them. According to British critic T.J. Binyon in Murder Will Out, a British accountant trying to be a "tough American private eye (has) an unintentionally comic result."

Smith was born in Glasgow, and worked as a chartered accountant, and later served as the director of an electronics company. as well as the Nicky Mahoun mysteries, he was the author of an auditing textbook.
