Terry Traven
Created by Geoffrey Miller

We're heading into Ross Macdonald country here, that strange gloomy place called Southern California, where lies are the common currency and children always seem to go missing. Los Angeles gumshoe TERRY TRAVEN specializes in tracking down runaways, but business isn't as good as it could be. He agrees to track down the missing son of a wealthy industrialist in 1981's The Black Glove, which received quite a bit of good press when it first appeared. Of course, author Miller might have been hoping for favorable comparisons to the hardboiled dicks of yesteryear...Traven calls his business the Black Mask Detective Agency.

Despite all the good buzz, however, it appears there was never any sequel.
