John Bow is the father of Laura Bow.
He is a New Orleans cop now police detective. He gives her daughter Laura Bow advice on how to be a detective. He appears in The Colonel's Bequest and The Dagger of Amon Ra.
Yvette Delacroix doesn't remember him, but suggests its possible they once had an affair, but she's had an affair with many men she doesn't remember. This is however unlikely as its not within John Bow's character as far as we know, and they are in completely different states.
