"First published in 1923, Jim Hanvey, Detective is a collection of seven stories that originally appeared in The Saturday Evening Post and features private eye Jim Hanvey in classic whodunit style mysteries. Described as the "backwoods Nero Wolfe," the genial Hanvey befriends "good guys" and criminals alike to get the job done. Bank robberies, jewel heists, and all-purposes cons-none are a match for Octavus Roy Cohen's waddling sleuth"-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Originally these well crafted short stories were published in the popular magazine Saturday Evening Post in the 1920s and have been residing in the Library of Congress until recently. This small collection has been given a great editing which explains the current value of any monies included, gives things like *had a watch chain like a hawser* an explanation, and who knew that what we know as a gas pedal today was a hand throttle then? The detective is really something else! To the eye, he is oddly sized and kind of irritating but he can out-Sherlock anyone with dogged patience and acute logic. He looks slow-witted, and especially outwits criminals who underestimate him and overestimate themselves. Classics indeed! Super reads!
