Detective Philo Gubb's Cases: The Hard-Boiled Egg, The Pet, The Eagle's Claws, The Oubliette, The Un-Burglars, The Dragon's Eye, The Progressive Murder...
Philo Gubb is a small-town paperhanger who admires Sherlock Holmes and learns a deductive technique by correspondence course. Gubb differs from many mainstream fictional detectives in that he is not brilliant, nor egocentric, but he is persistent, good-natured, and occasionally displays common sense. Also in contrast, his work may be characterized by elaborate disguises that deceive nobody, theories that are overhauled at every clue, and the often unintentional solving of mysteries. Table of Contents: - The Hard-Boiled Egg - The Pet - The Eagle's Claws - The Oubliette - The Un-Burglars - The Two-Cent Stamp - The Chicken - The Dragon's Eye - The Progressive Murder - The Missing Mr. Master - Waffles and Mustard - The Anonymous Wiggle - The Half of a Thousand - Dietz's 7462 Bessie John - Henry - Buried Bones - Philo Gubb's Greatest Case
