A Little Criticism Leads to Fourth Book

I got a three-star rating for "The Case of the Running Bag" where the critic liked the book but felt the main character was too skilled. I figured I might not have left enough clues to his potential. I realized that I had access to the backstory that wasn't fully disclosed. I had intended to do it over a series of stories and it was time to begin. "The Case of the Dead Detective" is one such story.

Who killed Mickey Phillips?

      Jonas Watcher went to the docks for some clam chowder and sourdough bread. He became aware of two men who showed an unusual interest in him. He played cat and mouse with them and finally led them back to his office.

     The confrontation wasn't what Jonas expected. After a discussion with the two men over some coffee laced with
Irish Whiskey, Jonas learned a shocking truth. A truth that sent him on a journey to Sacramento with his newly acquired girlfriend Mei Lin Fong and her family butler Charles,
In Sacramento, Jonas made a phone call that resulted in them being put under surveillance that took an ominous turn.
     In the 1930s, political isolationists had an agenda focused on keeping the United States out of the current conflicts in Europe. And, they added one item to the top of their list: Kill Jonas Watcher.
Jonas needs the wisdom of Solomon to get out of this alive, and he finds it wearing a rumpled fedora and coat.
