Description: Jimmy Lavender - Chicago Detective. The name conjures images of gangland murders, Al Capone and illegal bootleg whiskey, but Lavender has more in common with Sherlock Holmes. In some of his most baffling cases, Lavender comes up against such brain-twisters as a marble fountain statue that seemingly comes to life and walks by night; a FIANCE who goes missing on the eve of his wedding; a missing sack of uncut diamonds; and murder, robbery, and sudden death on the high seas!
