THE STORY W. Glenn Duncan (Snr. and Jr.) are the father-son duo behind the Shamus Award-winning Rafferty P.I. novels. W. Glenn Duncan Snr., aka Glenn, created the Rafferty P.I. character in the late 1980’s and wrote the first six books in the series. Jr., aka Bill, rebooted Rafferty in 2017 by launching new paperback editions and brought the series to ebook for the first time. He has continued the storyline, with the release in 2018 of False Gods, the 7th Rafferty P.I. book. Between them, and before turning their collective hands to writing, they’ve held down jobs as a radio station newsman, architect, local politician, business owner, project manager and professional pilot. They’ve lived on boats, in tents, and in cars. One of them ran into a burning building and the other crashed a car into the upper-story of a two-story house. Both born in the USA, they’ve lived in Iowa, Ohio, Oregon, Florida, Texas and California and now call Australia home. THE BOOKS RAFFERTY’S RULES 15 years ago, Rafferty saved Vivian from a crazed junkie who tried to blow her head off. So when he gets hired by Vivian’s parents to hunt down her kidnappers, it’s personal. Rafferty saved Vivian once. Can he do it again? LAST SEEN ALIVE Rafferty’s vacation goes to hell as he works his way through a small Texas town breaking the rules as fast as they can make them, searching for the vicious killer who butchered Cindy Lawson. POOR DEAD CRICKET He’s been around the block; this isn’t the first case he’s had involving a dead woman. But this time Cricket Dawes is dead, and no-one cares—except Rafferty. And that’s a bad scenario for everyone else. WRONG PLACE, WRONG TIME A double caseload means multiple mayhem for Rafferty. A trigger-happy octogenarian collides with a larger-than-life bounty hunter. One will win him an unexpected friend. The other could buy him a bullet. CANNON’S MOUTH Rafferty’s mistaken for a hitman. Before he knows it, the mark turns up dead and Rafferty’s left holding the bag. Full of cash. Now the real hitman wants his money and he’s prepared to burn down Rafferty’s world to get it. FATAL SISTERS (Shamus Award Winner) Finding Sherm Akister isn’t that hard, but telling his naïve wife that he was killed in a mob-connected whorehouse is. And with the witnesses now being murdered one by one, Rafferty must face the truth: sometimes it’s a simple matter of kill or be killed. FALSE GODS (2018) Rafferty should wrap up this runaway case easily, but by the time he can find teenaged Kimberly in a remote desert compound, they’re both trapped in the middle of a deadly game. Can Rafferty get Kimberly out before all hell breaks loose? THE FANS “Sometimes it seemed W. Glenn Duncan's Texas P.I. Rafferty had a rule for everything, but the fact remains that most of them were a hoot. And, of course, a further irony is that "Rafferty's Rules" is, in fact, an Australian football term for "no rules at all.” Thrilling Detective Website “At first sniff, it may smell like Spenser with a cowboy hat, but take a good whiff: W. Glenn Duncan's Dallas, Texas private eye RAFFERTY was actually a blast of fresh air in what was rapidly becoming a glut of sensitive, soul-searching, overly politically-correct cookie cutter P.I.s in the late eighties. Of course, it helps that Dallas ain't Boston.” Kevin Burton Smith Duncan truly captured the pure essence of the definitive smart-ass private eye in his character Rafferty. Take part Sam Spade with a little Mike Hammer, mix in some Spenser and you have an awesome character.” Cliff Fausset “I have all of the Rafferty titles in my collection. I've gotten rid of a lot of stuff over the years, but the Rafferty books are a mainstay. I think they're terrific!” Paul Bishop GET IN TOUCH www.RaffertyPI.com facebook.com/billduncanwriter twitter.com/bill_writes http://author.to/W_Glenn_Duncan
