The Package by Cleve Sylcox is a classic detective noir short story featuring Dave Winter, a hardnosed private eye working for shady lawyer Bill Tinsley. Making a routine delivery to Moe’s, Dave comes across Jackson Farnsworth, Tinsley’s ex-partner who had been presumed dead. Jackson continually refers to Dave as Tinsley, and Winter soon finds that this is just the beginning of his trouble in setting the record straight. He next encounters Al and Louie, a bumbling pair of operatives intent on taking possession of Tinsley’s package. Throw in Angel, a waitress at Moe’s who’s not quite what she seems, and Barbara Welch, a femme fatale, and we’ve got Dave fighting for answers while struggling to stay afloat in a morass of subterfuge that will keep you guessing to the final pages.
