Ed,
Re your question below:

> body of work?
Personally, I think the series starts to go downhill after
the first four, THE GODWULF MANUSCRIPT, GOD SAVE THE CHILD,
MORTAL STAKES (my personal favorite), and his Edgar-winner
PROMISED LAND, which introduces Hawk
(he's a bad guy, though a sympathetic one, in his first
appearance; he gets "reformed" later).
It may be significant that the series starts to diminish
after Hawk's introduction, or it may just reflect my
prejudice against the "psycho sidekick" character so
prevalent in PI novels.
And welcome to the list.
