Bart Spicer (1918–1978)

Carney Wilde is a private eye in Philly who is hired to clear a good cop, an unusual case for a PI. He’s barely started the case when a man is killed and Carney is in the frame for the deed. Now he has two people he needs to clear. On his way to interview a concerned person he comments, “Private eyes are slightly fashionable this season. Everybody who is anybody knows at least one, if only for name-dropping purposes.”
