He was invited but shows up primarily to stuff 'clues' into a sack. An alligator with gunmetal paw-rings, he recieves a single, enormous and gently roasted peanut.
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 Juadaism 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 recieved and extraordinary amount of attention in recent years. Launching this critical reappriasal was 2002's The Forkes Enigma: A Study of Cryptoprophecy Noir.
