Dr. Hiram Arthur
Created by Roger Delancey
From the advertising blurb:
"The death of a Wall Street financier brings into action the picturesque investigator, Hiram Wilson" in Murder Below Wall Street, published by the Tired Businessmen's Press.
Unfortunately, the "picturesque investigator" is called HIRAM ARTHUR in the actual book.
Anyway, the good doc is an interesting elderly private detective; a former engineer turned private detective serving the "financial magnates of Wall Street." Even if the book reeks, the blurb for it is pretty good: "Watch especially how wily old Dr. Arthur ("A delightful old satyr") and his team of voluptuous secretaries tangle with the carefully non-committal suspects (bankers, in-laws, office manager, and a Bolivian revolutionists' envoy), until one of them is not so non-committal as he thought he was. A natural, climatic (sic) denouement, an intriguing story and a keenly figured puzzle keep the reader alert to the last page."
