Love this! True Hard Boiled. Between WW I&II San Francisco, pre-pre-pre-internet, Market Street, Clay and gangster flats with views of Twin Peaks ( think what those views cost in 2024 money ) booze, cigs. Shady Tycoons. Wild, Wild Women. You are right, Tony. Only an American narrator can pull this off and Michael Rutland pulls it off, very very well. What better way to spend 5AM in a blustery, rainy Danish Oct. morning. Dog Nico agrees from under the duvet. Thanks so much to you both. Much appreciated.
Good story, well narrated. Thank you, Michael, for narrating. Thank you, Tony, for coordinating. The audio seemed to have an annoying (to me) echo, as if recorded in an empty room or a tunnel. These things happen. We get through and move on. I did wonder, briefly if the echo was connected to the TBI; however, I listened to other videos with no echo.
Hey Tony! I really enjoy everything you did on the segment. How you were explaining about the history of the authors and the difference in U.S. vs. European detectives. Also, I like that you mess up about, "You want women". Funny! Please repeat information, since I can not remember things well. Also, the narrator, was good, I would mind listening to him again. Nothing to be critical about. Please continue. I like listening to these. Thank you!
Tony, I had guessed the entire story from the daughter being involved and the 'money pickup lady', was a cross-dressed man. They ran off to start to a new life together, away from he jerk of a father...in the beginning. And no, ive never heard this story before!! Enjoyed the new American narrator. He did an excellent job!! And of course...enjoyed your 'short version' after talk. Honestly, like the longer versions better 😂
"Dash" is certainly a cool name! I imagine he used his life experience as a Pinkerton's Man and before. He may have started writing at 40, but he has life rather than imagination to call on. Thanks Tony, and thanks Michael - nice one. I'll be passing this one on to my big brother!
Scotsman Alan Pinkerton worked for Abe Lincoln spying in the Civil War then afterwards set up the same thing federally for Lincoln. "We never sleep" , the private agency motto and company passed to Pinkertons son, grandson, then sold to a Swedish company that owns it today. The image was severly tarnished when they.killed a dozens of strikers for a mega private company in its effort to crush a powerful union. They got away with murder.

"Morally failed," what a great turn of phrase. I always look forward to Saturday to see what you've posted!
That warmed my heart.

Love this story and anything by Hammett or Chandler is great by me; icons of noire.
The plot was a little obvious (for me), but the narration was spot on, and made it an absolute pleasure to listen to.
The original tough guy, the Continental Op.
Very enjoyable and a good narrator
Love this
When hard-boiled detective is undone by the narrator voice being MUCH too youthful & cheery for bloody murder & betrayal stories...
Echoey 👎
