The Oxman and Tobin Mysteries are a two-book series from the middle of John Lutz’s career. The Eye (1984) and Shadowtown (1988) feature a pair of investigators whose partnership drives the storytelling. The series is a minor entry in Lutz’s large bibliography but shows his interest in the dynamics between crime-solving partners.
For readers who have worked through Lutz’s major series, the Oxman and Tobin books offer a look at a different approach. The team dynamic sets these apart from the solo detective format of the Nudger, Carver, and Quinn books.
