Neal Carey is the protagonist in a series of crime fiction novels by American novelist Don Winslow.

Graham raised Neal and allowed him to get an education at Columbia University. Now, in the ’70s, Neal Carey is a reluctant P.I. who travels across the world, but is living in a village in Yorkshire, England.
