Created by Lamont A. Turner
ROB DOVERMAN is a private eye who’s appeared seemingly out of nowhere, in a splatter of short, bloody stories that aren’t afraid to toss a little gore’n’horror into the mix.
He has an office, but he had no luck hiring a hot babe secretary, and so makes do with Steve, his receptionist, handyman, and all-around go-to guy–he was the only one who answered the ad. By the time of his first novel, Never the Night (2024), Doberman’s filled out his dance card, with Steve being replaced by Marcy, she of the snark. Filling out the ranks are Marcy’s doofus brother Pete, Rob’s PTSD poster child buddy Hugh, oddball prof Professor Morrison, and the always irascible and dubious Homicide Detective Rickman.
His creator is Lamont Turner, a New Orleans-area author whose work has appeared recently in such print and online publications as Serial, Jitter, The Realm Beyond and Crimeucopia. He is the father of two boys and two girls.
