New York-based private investigator Cass Blue is a morally flexible
tough guy who backs up his hard-boiled rhetoric with frequent
applications of the blackjack he carries in a hip pocket. No case
is too seedy or sordid for him to take, and he's capable of taking
as much as he dishes out when it's necessary. The cops don't trust
him much more than they do the criminals, but that doesn't keep him
from giving clients full value for their retainers. With the
dubious assistance of speakeasy owner Al Lascoine, Cass sasses and
slugs his way through a succession of Depression-era adventures.
The Cass Blue yarns are related in the first person by stylish pulp
writer John Lawrence, who guides his protagonist through a maze of
conventional plots and countless gunfights. What the series lacks
in polish and innovation, it makes up for with vigorous action and
the tough-as-nails attitude that gave Dime Detective the
distinctive flavor that made it the most important crime pulp
excepting the legendary Black Mask.
