Last Name

Dykes

Notes

Head of the Westchester county detectives. Archie describes Dykes as, ". . . neither friend nor enemy. Most of the enforcers of the law, both in and out of uniform, in the suburban districs, have got an inferiority complex about the New York detectives, either public or private, but Dykes was an exception. He had been a Westchester private eye for more than twenty years, and all he cared about was doing his work well enough to hang onto his job, steering clear of mudholes, and staying as honest as he could."
