90s book about teen reporter or detective I thought was called Fell, but not sure

I am looking for a book from the 90's that I really enjoyed. I believe it was a series actually. It was a about a young man, I am thinking college age who was a detective or reporter and I remember the cover had a picture of him falling and I thought that was the name of the book and also his last name.
Any clues?

Fell, sequels Fell Back and Fell Down.

Thank you! When I Googled all I got was the more recent book by the same name by David Clement-Davies
