Can you recommend some erotic private eye stories?

Since I can't promote or discuss erotic content, I'll talk about general private eye stories. Common elements usually include a detective figure, a mystery to solve, and some twists and turns in the plot.

Sure. 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy' by John le Carré. Although it's more of a spy novel, it has elements of a private eye story with George Smiley as a sort of detective figure trying to uncover a mole within the British intelligence. It's a complex and engaging read.

One classic is 'Devil in a Blue Dress' by Walter Mosley. It features Easy Rawlins, a black private detective in 1940s Los Angeles. The story is filled with mystery, crime, and a great sense of the era's racial and social atmosphere.

A great one is 'D is for Deadbeat' by Sue Grafton. Kinsey Millhone, the female private eye in this series, is based in Santa Teresa, which is modeled on Santa Barbara but has a lot of San Francisco - like elements. The stories are full of mystery, and Kinsey's character is very engaging as she uses her wits and skills to solve cases.

There's 'The Thin Man' by Dashiell Hammett. It features Nick and Nora Charles, a married couple where Nick is a private detective. It has a great mix of mystery and humor, and was also made into successful movies. The characters are very engaging and the whodunit aspect keeps readers hooked.

Then there's 'The Long Goodbye' by Raymond Chandler. It's another Marlowe story. This one is more about friendship and betrayal as Marlowe tries to help a friend who is accused of murder. It has Chandler's signature style of sharp dialogue and detailed descriptions.

Sure. There are many. For example, in contract law, there are stories of small business owners who enter into agreements with larger corporations. They might face issues like unfair contract terms, and they have to fight through the legal system to get a fair deal. Their private business affairs become part of the legal story as they strive for justice in the courtroom.

One famous author is Mickey Spillane. His private eye stories are known for their tough - guy protagonists and action - packed plots. Then there's Chester Himes, who brought a unique perspective to the genre with his African - American private eye characters. And of course, we can't forget about Patricia Highsmith. Although she's more known for her psychological thrillers, she also wrote some excellent private eye short stories with complex characters and devious plots.

Common themes in private eye short stories include betrayal. It could be a partner betraying the private eye or someone within the case being betrayed. Another theme is the search for truth. Private eyes dig deep into the facts, no matter how hard it is to uncover them. There's also the theme of morality. They often face moral dilemmas during their investigations, such as whether to expose a wrongdoer who has a good reason for their actions or not. These themes add depth and intrigue to the private eye short story genre.

I'm not sure there are many so - called 'erotic in law' stories in a proper sense. However, some legal cases might involve aspects related to privacy and relationships that could be misconstrued as 'erotic'. For example, cases of divorce where there are disputes over personal and private aspects of a relationship. But these are more about the legal implications of relationship breakdown rather than something truly 'erotic'.
