Black Jack Justice (10) Hammer of Justice
August 05, 2006 04:00 - 23 minutes - 8.01 MBJack may not know much about art, but he knows what he likes... and what he doesn't. He doesn't much like Nick Franklin's looks, or his self-satisfied grin or his manicured fingernails. What he does like is a client that can afford a fat insurance policy and a couple of gumshoes to go with it. But can Jack and Trixie fit in with the arty set enough to protect Franklin's latest "discovery"? Where will they stand when the Hammer of Justice falls?
Black Jack Justice (09) - No Justice
July 22, 2006 04:00 - 23 minutes - 8.02 MBIt was the end of an uncharacteristic flurry of activity at the mighty world headquarters of Jack Justice Investigations. Trixie was crossing the final i's and dotting the final t's when she looked up and realized Jack was nowhere to be found.

Sometimes a gal's just got to look a gift horse in the mouth , and if she ever wants to see ol' square jaw sashay in the front door again, this is one of those times....

July 08, 2006 04:00 - 24 minutes - 8.28 MBIt was the third straight day of rain that did it. People had been cooped up for days, riding out the storm, and Black Jack is sure that a flurry of human misery, or as he likes to call it - rent money is on its way. But when he turns out to be more right than either he or Trixie could have guessed, they find themselves on an island in the middle of the city, with the water rising fast. An island of the "gaudy, hard-boiled metaphor" variety, admittedly; but sometimes that's the way it goes.

June 24, 2006 04:00 - 21 minutes - 7.28 MBMordecai Brasseau had been nothing but bad luck for Jack Justice Investigations since the first time he walked through the door.

Sooner or later they had to be right... and the registered letter inviting them to the reading of Mordecai's will suggested that time had finally come.... Or, maybe not.
Red Panda Adventures (12) - The Deadliest Game

March 18, 2006 05:01 - 21 minutes - 7.26 MBIt wasn't much of a holiday by most people's standards... just a turn around the park in the sunshine... but boy oh boy, how the work piles up at Jack Justice Investigations. Piles up right in the middle of the floor in a still-fresh pool of blood.

February 04, 2006 05:01 - 23 minutes - 8.12 MBSometimes the answer's right in front of your eyes. Sometimes you're so busy with what you think you saw, you can't be bothered to stop and look again.
