Created by David A. Poulsen
MIKE COBB is a former cop. ADAM CULLEN is a former crime reporter for the Calgary Herald. Now they both freelance: Mike as a private investigator, and Adam as a journalist-for-hire.
They became friends when Cullen hired Cobb to investigate the burning down of his home which had resulted in the death of his wife, and they’ve been pals ever since, occasionally teaming up to, as Cobb puts it, “thwart Calgary’s criminal element.”
The books offer a refreshing perspective on Calgary which too often is dismissed simply as Canada’s wannabe Dallas—a city where oil-rich, conservative, anti-government businessmen parade in expensive suits and cowboy hats, without having any real clue which end of a cow to milk. Besides the local colour, the author also peppers the books with shout-outs to various Canadian musicians—seems Cullen, who also serves as narrator, is a huge music nerd.
Which makes this huge music nerd happy.
