Created by William Campbell Gault
MORTIMER JONES, sometimes referred to as “Jonesy,” is a private gumshoe outta Los Angeles, big of shoulder and stout of heart, coiurtesy of the always readable William Campbell Gault.
An obvious dry-run for Gault’s Brock Callahan, he’s fond of beer and classic cars. Hell, he drives a Duesenberg, which gave editors an excuse to tag him as “the Dusy-driving dick.”
