I wonder if any of those Australian paperbacks made it into Grasmueck's hands before he dreamed up "Larry Brent". It would be interesting if his German-invented American investigator was an homage of sorts to an Australian-invented American investigator. You have to love a title like "I Hate Crime!" It doesn't get more pulpy than that! Thanks for the comment, Mike. I wonder if any of those Australian paperbacks made it into Grasmueck’s hands before he dreamed up “Larry Brent”.

He had his own radio drama ("I Hate Crime!") as well as a long-running series of paperbacks. Although made in Australia, it was about a tough American private eye. I used to listen to him when I was at school.
