However, he has personal problems to cope with, especially with alcohol . Although he has many girlfriends with whose help he also solves cases, he lives separately from his wife Deborah and their daughter Kim. Deborah's father, Charlie Hungerford, a millionaire and mysterious businessman, often appears to be involved in some way in his cases.
