Jim Hanvey is not a typical private detective. He is overweight, he waddles around, he blinks like some sort of fish, he plays with a gold toothpick that he wears on a chain around his waist. But what he has is a great memory for faces, a sharp mind, and a sense of fair play that makes him very well respected and feared by the higher level of criminals. Once he enters the story, we see the swindle begin to unravel – sometimes because of Hanvey, sometimes because the mere presence of Hanvey upsets the criminal to such an extent that he does himself in. Table of Contents: • Fish Eyes • Homespun Silk • Common Stock • Helen of Troy • Caveat Emptor • The Knight's Gambit • Pink Bait

Hesten Jim mister sko hele tiden.Nå har han gjort det igjen!Hvordan får han det til? lurer eieren på.Det er kanskje like greit at hester ikke kan prate. Hadde Jim fortalt hva som faktisk skjedde, er det ingen som ville trodd ham!
JIM ELLIOT (1927-1956) «Den som gir det han ikke kan beholde for å få det han ikke kan miste, er ingen dåre.» Jim og Pete snudde seg og så mennene fra auca-stammen løpe mot Nate, Ed og Roger med spydene hevet. Jim befant seg ute i elva med hånden på pistolen. Skulle han forsvare seg? Han visste allerede svaret. Misjonærene hadde lovet hverandre at de ikke ville prøve å redde seg selv ved å drepe dem de hadde oppsøkt i Jesu navn. Jim Elliott og hans kolleger var villige til å ofre alt for aucaindianerne i Ecuadors jungel, i et håp om at deres off er ikke ville være forgjeves. Flere tiår senere har denne dramatiske hendelsen utfordret utallige kristne til å gå med evangeliet til mennesker som aldri har hørt det.
