John Milano
Created by Stanley Ellin
Somehow it just doesn't seem right to call this guy Johnny.
Manhattan private investigator JOHN MILANO is a rather
high-flying P.I., rich and powerful, no stranger to the upper
crust, with friends in all the right places. He's the epitome
of class, with fine taste in everything from wom-
en to clothes. He can also be cold, calculating and self-centred
to the point of selfishness. A true professional. No charity work
here. Pure business. He's no Philip Marlowe, that's for sure,
but he is a shrewd detective, specializing in high-price (and
high stakes) recovery work for insurance companies. He works for
the prestigious Watrous Associates, whose lofty, 30th floor offices
overlook Madison and 60th.
Author Stanley Ellin has created two other private detectives, both also rich and powerful men whose motives rarely involve honour but nevertheless prove themselves to be more-than-competent investigators. If you enjoyed John Milano, check out Jake Dekker and Murray Kirk.
