I read 3 or 4 books about a character named, "Blackthorne", a few years ago, & can't remember the author. Blackthorne is a Bow Street runner, & the books are excellent. Any info about author & titles would be appreciated.

I have two books about a Bow Street Runner named "Blackstone". The author is Richard Falkirk. _Blackstone_ has a copyright date of 1972, and _Blackstone's_Fancy_ is copyrighted in 1973.

Off the top of my head, I'd say you were thinking of William F. Buckley's spy novel series (`Stained Glass', et al). Blackey is an engineer/CIA agent. Michael Esco p.s. I think two others were `Saving the Queen' and `The Story of Henri Tod'.
