I had asked a similar question some years ago.
Along the lines of "who is the best private ******?"

I believe TW by himself carried the thread over the 500 mark, although I must say I didn't recognize even one of the detectives he referenced.

The Great Copper Clapper Caper

Rockford!

+1 on Rockford.


Heard Wheel and Z voted for Rock Hudson.

Cal Lightman.

Not really an official detective, but a deception expert which is a good deal of what detective work has been portrayed as.

Paladin

Where Cipowitz?

+2 on Rockford and Yeah I heard that too....
