1930's. Depression was more than a mental problem. Nothing was guaranteed except more hard times. Life was a daily fight for survival. Too often it boiled over and ended badly. Then it fell to a P.I like Bass Holt to find out why. When a beautiful widow is on the hook for a dead, older husband, he gets his first "big one " to solve. What seems to start as a routine "whodunit ", soon sees the bodies pile up and with his other cases, get him knee deep in problems he never would have imagined! With humor, a cat named Thug, and the beautiful secretaryWanda, he takes on all that's thrown his way. Who could ask for more?
