Nightmare Town: lot of action but it's just a guy with a walking stick, so it isn't really thrilling. Reveal is great (view spoiler) [the entire town is a front for a bootlegging operation and about to burn for the insurance money (hide spoiler) ] but just sort of blurted out at the end House Dick: our first Continental Op story! Reads almost like a Dick Tracy comic, but I loved it. Three bodies fall out of a hotel closet, and it turns out (view spoiler) [it's all a case of mistaken identity in a sort of gang war (hide spoiler) ] Ruffian's Wife: a good crime story told form the POV of a wandering adventurer's stay-at-home wife The Man Who Killed Dan Odams: the best story so far. Great forward action that keeps you guessing at what happened before the story started, and I didn't see the twist coming at all (view spoiler) [the woman whose house he invades is the widow of Dan Odams (hide spoiler) ] which isn't just a twist but lends an extra poignancy to the proceedings. Or rather, it highlights a certain moral ambiguity which turns this into something more than a simple adventure. A western and a crime story, I'm surprised this has never been adapted into a movie. Night Shots: A locked room murder mystery, or close to it, I guess. Starring the Continental Op. Atmospheric. The villain of the piece (gambling, adulterous, spendthrift scoundrel etc who jokes and laughs at the Op's work) is not the murderer, which is a nice touch. And the solution is inventive but plausible: the old man sick in bed was trying to kill his own nurse because he thought he confessed the years ago murder of his wife to her. He makes it look like an assassin is bungling the job trying to kill him. Even better punchline: the nurse says he didn't confess anything, just made her afraid because he was shouting obscenities while doped up.
