It is 1946, and Frank O'Brian is a gumshoe in New York, in other words, a private investigator. Having just qualified as a lawyer when the US entered WWII, he quit to work as a field agent for the Office of Strategic Services in Europe. Upon returning to New York, he found the notion of returning to the law too tame and hung up his PI shingle. In his first big case, he is involved in murder, blackmail, and double dealing.

Not just three mystery stories
Revisado: 10-18-18
These three cases set in the late 1940's are packed with murder, kidnapping, missing persons, arrogance, and greed. The characters are well developed, real, interesting, and very human. Henke does more than track down perpetrators and arrest them. The effect of paradigms on what you look for and what you see, the emergence of the female character in seeking gender equality, and the pursuit of justice are issues explored in these stories. There are lessons to be learned. William Sturdevant is fast becoming one of my narrators of choice. He brings the characters to life (or should I say he gives them a voice).
