Skeletons: A Claim Agent's Stories is a collection of short stories written by Guy Morrison Walker and published in 1921. The book contains eleven stories that revolve around the life of a claim agent who investigates insurance claims. The protagonist of the stories is a man named Jim Hanvey, who is known for his sharp wit and cunning investigative skills. Each story in the book follows Hanvey as he investigates a different insurance claim, ranging from stolen jewelry to arson. Along the way, Hanvey encounters a variety of characters, including con artists, thieves, and murderers. Despite the serious subject matter, the stories are often humorous and lighthearted, with Hanvey using his quick thinking and clever tactics to outsmart the criminals he comes up against. Overall, Skeletons: A Claim Agent's Stories is a well-written and entertaining collection of short stories that offers a glimpse into the world of insurance claim investigation in the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
