The Case of the Dead Detective

Who killed Mickey Phillips?

 Jonas Watcher went to the docks in search of some fresh clam chowder. There was a sudden gust of cold wind. Jonas shivered. Was it the wind or something more ominous. Jonas glanced around. He spotted two men who appeared nervous each time he looked in their direction. He was being followed. Neither man seemed threatening, and Jonas was curious about them. He decided to engage the pair in a game of cat and mouse, which led back to his office.

     The encounter in his office wasn't what Jonas expected. After a discussion with the two men over some coffee laced with Irish Whiskey, Jonas uncovered a surprising revelation. Mickey Phillips knew who Jonas Watcher was. It may have been why he was murdered. 

     This disclosure sent Jonas on a journey to Sacramento with his newly acquired girlfriend, Mei Lin Fong, and her family butler Charles. 

     A simple phone call resulted in the trio being put under surveillance that took an ominous turn.

     In the 1930s, German intelligence guided disgruntled activists with a plan focused on keeping the United States out of the current conflict in Europe. These spies added a new item to the top of their agenda. Kill Jonas Watcher.

     Jonas needed the help of Solomon to solve the mystery of Mickey Phillips's murder, and he finds him wearing a rumpled fedora and a tan overcoat.
