Octagon: The Jack Hamilton Detective Stories

What do Sam Spade, Philip Marlowe, Magret, and Jack Hamilton have in common? ANSWER: They are all fictional detectives plying their trade in the Thirties and Forties. All work under the shadow of the worst economic disaster in history, the Great Depression. But crime never rests, even in economic bad times. Jack Hamilton is a private detective (PI) working in Tampa Florida. He encounters many weird and unusual cases to solve, but with the help of his good friend and associate, a Cuban-American named Beans, the cases are solved. Beans, as most people would say, is the most brilliant man alive. Governments, scientists, politicians, regular people, and others utilize Beans’ superior brain to solve their problems. This collection of eight medium length stories covers the gamut from silent parrots to psychics to sea monsters. Jack, in these stories, plugs along doggedly, moving from clue to clue, but in the end, brain power and determination win over crime and evil.
