The listing, The Reluctant Detective and Other Stories Paperback has ended.
Michael Z. Lewin's view of the world is slightly offbeat. Reared in Indiana, he created tales in which one of Indiana's most famous politicos, "Danny" Quayle, actually solves crimes. Having lived in England for some thirty years, Lewin invented a "reluctant detective" who prefers to take advantage of Britain's tax laws than do any actual detecting. A few years ago, Lewin invented a family of detectives — grandfather, children, and grandchildren — who investigate criminals in Bath, England, but (with the sensitivity of someone who sees a society as an adoptive son) Lewin gave the Lunghi family of sleuths an Italian background.
