His novels The Last Good Kiss, The Mexican Tree Duck and The Right Madness feature the character C. W. Sughrue, an alcoholic ex-army officer turned private investigator. The Wrong Case, Dancing Bear and The Final Country feature another P. I, Milo Milodragovitch. In the novel Bordersnakes, Crumley brought both characters together.
