If you're the sort that gets a thrill from rubbing elbows with shady characters you best leave the introductions to the streetwise Ike Swift. Just so's you don't get hurt!
Ike Swift is but one of many pseudonyms employed by the prolific Owen Davis in writing stories for various publications, such as the once "edgy" [National] Police Gazette. As Owen Davis he was known as a Pulitzer Prize winning dramatist as well as a script writer for radio and screen writer for film. - Summary by Brian Fullen
