THE TIMOTHY FILES is a trilogy that contains 3 novellas; 'THE WALL STREET DICKS', 'THE WHIRLIGIG ACTION', and 'A COVEY OF COUSINS'.
I finished 'A COVEY OF COUSINS' early July, 2021.
From Thriftbooks.com:
"The Timothy Files presents the likable Timothy Cone as a corporate intelligence specialist (he hates the term "private detective"), who works for Haldering and Co. Haldering and Co. investigates potential suitors for mergers and takeovers. This benign milieu provides the backdrops for some intriguing mysteries."
"A Covey of Cousins, the third and final novella, pits Timothy's horsesense against a dysfunctional clan of criminals, the Laboris. Drug smuggling, money laundering are just the least of the challenges he encounters on his way to unraveling these riddles. With a superb cast of the bumbling Timothy, the overbearing Samantha, and the hideous and adorable Cleo, we are set for a thrill ride. Their relationship, as well as his exploits, satisfy an innate desire to see the underdog win. The writing is light-hearted, even when the crimes are not. Indeed, in Sanders world, light humor and dark crimes happily coexist. A good way to pass time, all readers should enjoy this flavor of Cone."
It was an easy read and I love anything set in NYC during the 70's or 80's.
I was surprised to learn that Lawrence Sanders wrote his first novel, 'THE ANDERSON TAPES', in 1970, at the age of 50.
