Cannon background

Cannon

Frank Cannon, a rugged former police detective with a passion for food, now uses his expertise to crack complex mysteries as a private investigator.

The series follows Frank Cannon, a former cop turned high-priced private investigator, who uses his deep voice and refined taste in fine dining to solve cases. Due to his physical limitations, Cannon often relies on car chases and elaborate action sequences instead of traditional fist-fights and gun battles.
