Who killed Mickey Phillips?

 

Jonas Watcher went to the docks for some Clam Chowder and sourdough bread. He became aware of two men who showed an unusual interest in him. He played a little cat and mouse with them in the neighborhood. Finally, Jonas lead them back to his office.

 

The confrontation wasn't what Jonas expected. After a discussion with the two men over a couple of cups of coffee laced with a bit of Irish, Jonas learns a shocking truth. A truth that sends him on a journey to Sacramento with his newly acquired girlfriend, Mei Lin Fong, and Charles, the Family Butler?

 

In Sacramento, Jonas makes a phone call that results in them being put under surveillance that takes an ominous turn in a Sacramento flop house.  In the 1930s political isolationists have a sinister agenda that is focused on keeping the United States out of the current conflicts in Europe. They have added one more item to the top of their agenda, killing Jonas Watcher.

 

Jonas needs the wisdom of Solomon to get out of this alive, and he finds him wearing a fedora and a rumpled coat.
