Henry Po
Created by Robert J. Randisi

HENRY PO's job as an investigator for the New York Racing Commission lands him in some pretty dangerous jams, but he's managed to persevere in a series of short stories and at least one novel by Robert Randisi. A fitting American counterpart to Dick Francis' Sid Halley.

Creator Randisi is, of course, the founder of The Private Eye Writers of America, and is also responsible for Brooklyn-based P.I. Nick Delvecchio and Manhattan-based former boxer and current private eye Miles "Kid" Jacoby. They're all equally good, and equally recommended.
