Now That's One Cold Fish

Q:


Take the phrase  "Candid Winkers".  Rearrange the letters to get the last names of two men who lived at about the same time in roughly the same place and shared the same first name.

In the title, one cold fish refers to arctic char.  The image has two distinct clues, an animal and a book.

  1. In roughly the same place but in two (different) cities.

  2. Seems highly unlikely to be the sort of dog that snaps.

    1. Searching one of the names in conjunction with "fish" led to a story involving a salmon and a snapping pug-dog.

  3. Think of a singer/songwriter/musician and a fictional character sharing the same last name. Replace the first letter of the musician's first name with three other letters to get the fictional character's first name.

  4. The fictional character is frim literature. I'm afraid revealing the musician's genre would be tantamount to revealing the name of the musician. But here's a far-fetched hint: Labrador.

    1. Finally got it, but I must say I was a bit spooked.
