Jeffrey Blackburn information


Jeffrey Blackburn was a fictional private investigator who was the hero of a series of stories by Australian writer Max Afford.

Afford used him as the hero of various novels as well as the radio series Danger Unlimited.

According to one writer "His Jeffrey Blackburn features were probably the most popular of their type to originate in Australia; they were usually fast moving, suspenseful, intricately but clearly worked out and invariably well written."[1]

Most of the stories were set in England which Afford felt was a more glamorous setting. "Purely personal feeling,” he said, “a n d partly influenced, I suppose, by writing for London publishers; they _ seem to think that Australian settings would have little glamour, even for Australian audiences.”[2]
