Hiram Holliday is initially depicted in the series as a newspaper proofreader. His minor correction of a news story unwittingly protected the newspaper publisher from paying a fortune in reparations, so the grateful publisher agrees to finance Hiram's trip around the world.

He decides to put his skills in use as a crime-fighter and spy-catcher while visiting a series of exotic locations. Written by Dimos I See less
