Flap Tucker is a detective with a special ability: he is using his intuition to find lost things … or people. And he relies on meditation rather than on a gun to do so.
Fever Devilin is a folklorist who has returned home to the Georgian Appalachians, leaving behind the world of the academia. But when he returns, home is not quite the way he left it behind.
Foggy Moskowitz is a Jewish former car thief and current amateur PI working in Florida in the Child Protective Services in the early 1970s.
