[Pulpmeister]

An early spoof on Sherlock Holmes.

Radford Shone and his sycophantic biographer, of Gower Street, investigate a dozen cases; but they are not narrated by his "Watson", but rather by the various stolid police officers, metropolitan and provincial, who prove to be smarter than Radford Shone.
