The Eye That Never Sleeps

“A classically told detective novel that creates a web of intrigue, while giving the reader a tour of a bygone era of America through the filter of New York City.” –Sublime Book Review

Hired by the city’s bankers to track down and apprehend the thief who is plundering their banks, private detective Sheldon Minick develops a friendship with his chief suspect, Nicholas Hale, an elegant young man-about-town who is in every way the sober Methodist detective’s opposite. They agree to a truce and undertake each to show the other the city that he knows and values.

Further adventures follow, including a visit to a whorehouse with leap-frogging whores, but when the truce ends, the inevitable finale comes in the dark midnight vaults of a bank.
