Kinky Friedman Greenwich Killing Time
Chronologically, the series starts with Greenwich Killing Time, where McGovern is firmly placed in the frame for the murder of part-time actor, bartender and bisexual Frank Worthington and it is up to the Kinkster to get him out of it.
At this point the Kinkster is, more or less, operating in pretty conventional Whodunit mode, with a solution emerging at the end when various clues scattered through the preceding narrative are conveniently tied together and the case solved. Along the way we're introduced to Pete Myers, proprietor of Myers of Keswick, caterer to the stars and future Greenwich Village Irregular.
