The year is 1932, the place the big city. Crime is running rampant as the age of Prohibition comes to an end. The Crime bosses have strong hold on many of the government offices in the city. new night clubs crop up and disappear ever week, if you pay the right people your night club will put you on easy street. Married women sleep with men not their husband's. Young men and women leave their homes to make it big in the big city. People disappear never to be seen or heard from again. Wives and husband's leave their loving homes never to be seen again. These and more are what a Privet investigator is hired to find out.
In the thick of it is Caspian Valentine, privet agent, privet detective or privet investigator which ever you want to call him, he does not care. Recently his partner of 30 years has retired, and he moved to a new city. No one knows him here and that is how he likes it. Putting out an ad in the paper he sits and waits for an answer, an answer for a man that does not know he is wanted.
