Gores worked for two different PI agencies in San Francisco under a veteran detectective named Dave Kikkert, LA Walker and David Kikkert and Associates. His Dan Kearney character is based on Kikkert, and his fictional "Daniel Kearney Associates" based on the real-life DKA.

Gores's semi-autobiographical novel CASES also describes his early years as a PI.
