One Detective - Six Authors What do you get when a group of writers
jointly create a private detective character in the hard-boiled
tradition, then go their separate ways to put the poor bastard
through his paces? You get Nick Chambers, a down-on-his-luck P.I.
that is both comfortably familiar and refreshingly original. In the
grim days following the end of WWII, San Francisco is a rough place
to try to make a living as a detective. Paying clients are few and
far between, corruption is rampant in the highest echelons of city
government, and no one seems to be interested in justice any more.
Nick Chambers is the detective you turn to when you can't afford
anyone else. He's only one step from being on the streets himself,
but manages to scrape by on his wits, perseverance, and a steely
conviction that despite all the evidence to the contrary, there are
still a few good people left who deserve to have someone watching
their backs.
