A private eye is catapulted on to a continent-hopping journey that proves difficult to escape.

‘A masterpiece… A vintage tale of adventure’ Daily Telegraph‘Swing bands, spies and surreal danger… A wild ride’ i Paper‘Brilliant fun… Rollicking’ Washington PostMilwaukee 1932, the Great Depression going full blast, repeal of Prohibition just around the corner, Al Capone in the federal pen, the private investigation business shifting from labour-management relations to the more domestic kind. Hicks McTaggart, a onetime strikebreaker turned private eye, thinks he’s found job security until he gets sent out on what should be a routine case, locating and bringing back the heiress of a Wisconsin cheese fortune who’s taken a mind to go wandering. Before he knows it, he’s been shanghaied onto a transoceanic liner, ending up eventually in Hungary where there’s no shoreline, a language from some other planet, and enough pastry to see any cop well into retirement – and of course no sign of the runaway heiress he’s supposed to be chasing.

By the time Hicks catches up with her he will find himself also entangled with Nazis, Soviet agents, British counterspies, swing musicians, practitioners of the paranormal, outlaw motorcyclists, and the troubles that come with each of them, none of which Hicks is qualified, forget about being paid, to deal with.

Surrounded by history he has no grasp on and can’t see his way around in or out of, the only bright side for Hicks is it’s the dawn of the Big Band Era and as it happens he’s a pretty good dancer. Whether this will be enough to allow him somehow to Lindy-hop his way back again to Milwaukee and the normal world, which may no longer exist, is another question.

A little difficult to read.
Color: GMT Blue
Very good watch, but I would have liked it to be bigger, about 43 mm, a little difficult to read.

Excellent Watch
Color: Gold Silver-G8408
I don't know why this watch is getting a less than perfect rating from others. I purchased this watch legit to make sure my son got out of the shower at the gym on time to get where he is going. LOL It is classy, elegant and yes, has been exposed to sweat, water and soap extensively, and still looks fantastic. He is getting the black one next.

looks good but is unreliable; replacement coming
Color: Gold Blue-G8408
Update: The company reached out to me and offered me either a refund or a replacement watch. I bumped my rating up by two stars for that good customer service, and I'll provide another update once I have the replacement and see how it works. This watch looks great, was a good price, and I enjoy wearing it. The problem is that it keeps stopping. An unreliable watch is a big problem. Unfortunately, I was out of the country and didn't get to return it in time before the return window closed. If it worked properly, I would have given it a five-star rating.
