Industrial
tycoon Cyrus
North is a
wealthy
inventor with
no social
life, whose
main passion
is the study
and
investigation
of crime. To
this end he
works as a
free-lance
criminologist,
independent
from, and
sometimes even
at odds with,
a local police
department
that is often
dependent upon
his
assistance.
North is a
captain of
industry and a
power within
his home-town
of Center
City.
North
is aided in
his work by
glamorous Rhoda
King, who
first enters
employment as
a prospective
client rather
than an
employee. As
North tells
her during
their first
adventure
together: “A
criminal
sizing up a
pretty young
girl or
admiring a
pair of
shapely legs
has had his
attention
distracted.
He’s off
guard. Those
moments are
priceless in a
thousand ways
for an alert
detective.”
Yet,
Rhoda’s beauty
is a two-edged
sword. Try as
she might,
efforts to
attract the
attention of
her employer
on anything
beyond a
professional
basis are
always doomed
to failure.
Because of
Cyrus North’s
position in
Center City
and the
ongoing
pressures
involved in
running a
multi-million
dollar
corporation,
Sarah
Slocumbe, his
personal
secretary,
handles
company
affairs while
he is on a
case.
Story-wise,
Wandrei
challenges
himself—and by
extension,
Cyrus North—to
share an
outrageous
crime more
bizarre and
outré than the
previous
outing. |
