Under The Polish Moon

   Under the Polish Moon is a story of the formation of a private investigation firm named Discrete Inquiries by WILLARD W.WICKHAM III.

   Willard's Army career is exemplary when he is assigned as a prison officer.   Two inmates of the stockade, JIMMY JOHN PHILLIPS and SAMUEL BROWN were sentenced for relatively minor infractions.  They became indispensable to Willard as inside helpers.

   After his release he is accepted in the Milwaukee Police Department.  He retires after being shot in a robbery. Willard and his wife GINNY buy a PI firm with his associate SERGEANT LOWELL, Willard's First Sergeant.  They are joined by Phillips and Brown and begin hiring out to people who cannot handle the threatening circumstances that beset them.

   Crooked attorneys and a self-serving District Attorney complicate matters.  Their clients' problems are handled in a way to maintain their dignity and return them to their normal, unthreatening lifestyle.
