This guy Knighthorse is a kick. Like a cross between a couple of my favorite fictional detectives; Myron Bolitar (Harlan Coben's superb creation), and Hitchcock Sewell the funny undertaker from Baltimore (The Hearse You Rode in On, etc).A football star in college, Knighthorse is now nursing a bum leg (broken in 9 (?) places) that killed his chance at the pros, and a drinking problem. Great back story, with a private detective dad he doesn't talk to, the unsolved murder of his mother long ago when he and his dad were out of the house together, a great sidekick cop pal, and a fun girlfriend.Already finished the second book (also fun) and can't wait for more.
