Scobie Malone: Difference between revisions

Scobie Malone is a fictional Australian police detective created by Jon Cleary. He made his first appearance in Cleary's 1966 novel The High Commissioner. Cleary did not originally intend to create a series but brought the character back later for Helga's Web (1970) and Ransom (1973). There was a long gap before Cleary started using the character again, but once he did he wrote for him regularly from the late 80s onwards.^[1]
