Celebrated "private dick," hard-boiled, or rather, poached. He appeared in two novels by Stimes Addisson. His name is an homage to Wilhemina Forkes and his character is based upon stories she used to tell of a crazy uncle--Günter Forkes--who set up a diamond shop in Amsterdam and converted to Judaism after the Second World War. He was stabbed to death by a half-mad rabbinical student who'd fallen in love with Forkes' wife. In the books, however, Dutch isn't Jewish and lives in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Though rarely found outside dime stores and run-down shanties, Addisson's work in the detective milieu has received an extraordinary amount of attention in recent years. Launching this critical reappraisal was 2002's The Forkes Enigma: A Study of Cryptoprophecy Noir. [edit] Non-Canonical Text
