C. A. W. Parker loves the work of Arthur Conan Doyle, Raymond Chandler and P. G. Wodehouse above perhaps all others. Looking back, The Detective of Last Resort series is essentially a naive attempt to capture something of those authors' magic (very inadequately) in a series of private detective mysteries set in the unglamorous corners of old England (why should London have all the fun?).
