Two ways into Peter O’Donnell’s world: newspaper adventures and prose fiction. Choose the form you enjoy; follow each sequence on its own terms.
The first daily story introduces the partnership in action. Continue in the numbered story order; the archive’s chronological view keeps stories from the same year in sequence.
Prefer collected books? The modern Titan sequence starts with The Gabriel Set-Up. A collection title is not necessarily the title of its earliest story.
Start with the 1965 novel, then follow publication order. Short stories offer another entry point; the archive records individual stories as well as their two collections.
Modesty is a retired criminal leader who chooses her own adventures. Willie Garvin is her closest ally. Their friendship anchors both forms, which maintain largely separate continuities.
