About
Philip St. Ives is the protagonist in a series of hardboiled crime fiction/mystery novels by American novelist Ross Thomas (originally as Oliver Bleeck). Philip St. Ives is a private investigator, but unlike many hardboiled detectives, he doesn’t work out of a crappy office, drink cheap liquor or work in a horrible, corrupt city. Instead, he travels the world taking cases in the United States, Europe and wherever else someone needs him. The novel The Procane Chronicle was adapted into the film St. Ives, starring Charles Bronson as “Raymond St. Ives.”
