John Easy John Easy Created by Ron Goulart JOHN EASY 's a private eye, Southern California division. A no-nonsense kinda guy with little patience for evasiveness. Brusque, tends to interrupt people, bring 'em back to the original line of questioning.
Cases usually revolve around beautiful, but alas, missing women.
And sure enough, the wackos show up. Recurring characters include Hagopian, an Armenian playboy and writer for TV Look , who seems to have files on everyone, and Lieutenant Alvin of the San Ignacio Police, who has a thing for sniffing ladies' undergarments. Coming from Goulart, though, that's to be expected. He's best known for his goofy sci-fi stories and parodies. What's surprising is how convincingly he pulls off the Chandleresque tone and the Ross Macdonald sensibility.
