“What are you working on, O’Malley?” I said entering Shamrock’s study.

“Well, Walton, you know that the smallest facts often lead to unraveling the most confusing cases?”

“Indeed. I read an article by Mr. Holmes about deciphering differences in tobacco ashes.”

“Bah! How many people smoke in Victorian London? Seriously? No, I’m interested in profitable areas of investigation: Ascertaining Sasquatch hair!”

“. . . Why?”

“Sasquatch attacks account for 87 percent of all homicides, but they hide by shaving and blending in with humans. Find the Sasquatch; find the murderer!”

O’Malley’s 563 page treatise Discovering Hidden Sasquatches Among Us failed to find a publisher.
