In 1878, barely a dozen years after the American Civil War, this origin story of The Joe Phenix Detective Series was published as a serial in the New York Saturday Journal. This is Historical Fiction written when it was simply...Fiction! These are very early stories about a two-fisted detective tracking down the worst miscreants in New York City. This Dark Lantern Tales edition of Joe Phenix, The Police Spy includes a Victorian tale of murder, false imprisonment, a vast crime empire, final retribution, and historical information, a glossary of Victorian slang terms, period illustrations!

This first story, Joe Phenix, The Police Spy, is essential as the origin of Joe Phenix. It was written in a time when elaborate and decorative language was an important element of style, and a substantial serving of pathos was expected with melodramatic turns of plot. Given that framework, Joe Phenix, The Police Spy still delivers a complex story with plenty of drama.
