Fenner, Dave. Dave Fenner was created by “James Hadley Chase,” the pseudonym of René Brabazon Raymond, and appeared in No Orchids for Miss Blandish (1939) and Twelve Chinks and a Woman (1940).

Dave Fenner is a hard-boiled American private detective. He used to be a newspaper reporter but left it to open his own agency, although business is slow, and when he does get a job, usually it’s a nasty one or turns nasty. That’s okay with Fenner, though: he’s a nasty man, big, with “massive shoulders” and “hard muscles” and a cold, brutal outlook on life.
