Asey Mayo
The "Codfish Sherlock," as Asey Mayo is called, has never been far from the sea throughout his life. He made his first voyage on one of the last of the clipper ships. Subsequently, he sailed as steward, cook, or ordinary seaman before retiring to Wellfleet on the Cape Cod peninsula of Massachusetts. He is now man Friday for the town's wealthiest tycoon. Apparently, the job gives him enough time to drive cars at top speeds and to solve many local murders.
In appearance, Asey Mayo is not impressive, since he is usually bedecked in old, worn clothing and walks with his tall, lean frame hunched over. His head is thrust forward, and his mouth often contains a wad of chewing tobacco. His appearance is deceptive; he is a detective with a profound knowledge of human nature and a remarkable record of deductive success.
