Herringbone Tweede
Created by Ray

HERRINGBONE TWEEDE (I kid you not) is a soft-hearted, mild-mannered private detective, tired of doing marital work, who decides to pack it all in and head on down the road, leaving behind the very mean, and evidently divorce-ridden streets of LaLaLand for the hopefully more peaceful (and more conducive to happy domestic relations) environs of Salt Lake City. This is all on the advice of his Mormon buddy, LAPD administrator Paul Holroyd. In Utah, though, WASPy Tweede is the ultimate outsider, constantly baffled by the Mormon culture. But he's learning, albeit slowly. He's set up an office on the second floor of a downtown building, found a name for his new agency (Desert Industries), and he's ready for business. He's even found himself a new cop buddy, Lieutenant Brady, a friend of his old pal paul back in LA.
Not a bad series of short stories; sometimes quite remniscient of John Lutz's ALO NUDGER at times.
