First published in 1923, Jim Hanvey, Detective is a collection of
seven stories that originally appeared in The Saturday Evening Post
and features private eye Jim Hanvey in classic whodunit style
mysteries. Described as the "backwoods Nero Wolfe," the genial
Hanvey befriends "good guys" and criminals alike to get the job
done. Bank robberies, jewel heists, and all-purposes cons-none are
a match for Octavus Roy Cohen's waddling sleuth.
Octavus Roy Cohen (1891-1959) was an American author who became
popular as a result of his stories printed in The Saturday Evening
Post. He published 56 books, including humorous and detective
novels and collections of short stories.

In this story we meet again the unique and human detective, David
Carroll. The inordinately sleepy little town of Karnak has been
jarred from its lethargy by a murder at Furness Lodge.

have one ending-murder. He wore another man's face. He lived with
another man's woman. And he was to die another man's death.
