    • Red Harvest. “I first heard Personville called Poisonville by a red-haired mucker named Hickey Dewey in the Big Ship in Butte. He also called his shirt a shoit.
    • The Dain Curse. The detective is still the Continental Op. The agency is still a business that must make money. The Op still has to report to his superiors.
