ON THIS 4th OF JULY LET'S GIVE A NOD TO A 17th CENTUREY ENGLISH NOVELIST...

 Daniel Defoe, author of ROBINSON CRUSOE and the famous pioneer of the contemporary novel was many things in 17th century England, but a P.I. he was not.  Still, I always thought he should have been, what with his perfect, alliterative "Sam Spade-ish" detective name...  (and while lunch was certainly around in the 17th century, telephones were not)
