Jack Cassidy is your standard wisecracking, chain-smoking, trenchcoat-sporting PI - the sort you can’t throw a brick without hitting in 1936.

She’s got enough on her plate, what with the all sinister disappearances, Bolshevist plots, bumbling gangsters, and general mishaps, murder, and mayhem she’s hired to deal with. And then there’s the fact that she still hasn’t sorted out her feelings for her plucky secretary, Effy, or the beautiful but enigmatic femme fatale who needs her help to track down a lost diamond…
