Special Kids Screening Room Main collection. Hanshew lazily reuses one or two plot devices but I found it impossible not to admire some of his crazy scenarios. These feature Egyptian sarcophagi, six-fingered corpses, a 'wizard's belt', and a hideous octopus-like monster - a fake of course - which is used to overpower a VIP and steal some top secret plans.

Most outrageous of all is 'The Lion's Smile'. It's the most audaciously ridiculous but logical! Kudos to Hanshew not so much for coming up with it but for having the bare cheek to write and publish it. Nov 17, Jack Heath marked it as to-read Shelves: category-mystery. Synopsis: short stories about Cleek, first a master criminal but now a detective with Scotland Yard.

Before creating Cleek, Thomas Hanshew wrote numerous mystery novels. The World's Finger is something of a hack job. Douglas G. Magill , points out that the rivalry between detectives in this book derives from Fergus W.

See a Problem?

In fact, much of the book is recognizably in the style of Fergus Hume and his The Mystery of a Hansom Cab , not so much in its detectival technique as in its subject matter: its nocturnal killing on an urban street, its cast of young lovers doubling as suspects, good looking personable young society men hiding discreditable secrets, parent child relationships, hidden liaisons between rich older men and women of the lower classes, shrewd working class police officers and private detectives, boarding houses and upper middle class homes, romantic triangles, and illegitimate births.

Into this Humian stew Hanshew introduces a few original elements.

Cleek: The Man of the Forty Faces - Thomas W. Hanshew - Detective Fiction - Soundbook - 1/8

Another amateur detective, a doctor, does a creditable job directing a murder investigation in the opening chapters, before Scotland Yard has a chance to show up. These opening chapters Chapters of Part First contain a mildly interesting impossible crime, and its solution. The OK solution contains both elements that are ingenious, and something of a let down. Perhaps someday someone will reprint this opening section.

The World's Finger is a good title. Hanshew exemplifies the writer whose bad style and ludicrous plotting becomes comic genius albeit unconscious. The novels are very difficult to read, but the short stories are ingenious -- and delightfully dotty.
