| Summary |
Fifty-Minutes Flahterty presents forty-one short stories in the tradition of Sherlock Holmes--with a difference. "Fifty-Minutes" Flaherty is Holmes brought up to date, accelerated, and sprinkled with humor. Homicide Lieutenant "Fifty-Minutes" Flaherty has acquired his nickname from his success at solving crimes in less than an hour. His helper, who is sometimes actually helpful, is Detective Sergeant Donaldson. In each story the reader is ordinarily provided with enough clues to be able to anticipate Flaherty's solution--but not always. John A. Broussard writes with the sure. |
