A radio drama series that operates as a more modern take on the 40s/50s Private Detective, first created in 1976 by Jim French and primarily aired in Seattle.The series features the eponymous Harry Nile (played by Phil Harper and Larry Albert), a former internal affairs police officer turned private investigator who operates in Los Angeles and, later, Seattle, in a time frame that goes from shortly after WWII to the 1950s. While beginning the show with a partner, he's since gone solo—that is, alongside his loyal and strong-willed secretary, Murphy (played by Pat French). He frequently finds himself in debt—though his gambling days are behind him, he doesn't attract much work and his good-natured heart often leaves him doing jobs for free or on pocket change.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Each episode is about 20 minutes long, with breaks for radio advertisements. Despite a twelve year hiatus from 1978 to 1990, new episodes were being made as of 2010. In 1996 the series was syndicated nationally, and has since become international. In addition, a select number of episodes over the course of the show's run have been made into cassette tapes and CD sets, which can be obtained on the Jim French Productions website. | |

Hard Boiled Detective: Harry is a deliberate aversion of this. Despite living a life that would make such a man bitterly cynical (sees corruption and incompetence in the police force, a dead wife, terrible gambling debts and being targeted by the mob on a few occasions), he remains a steadfast champion of justice, rarely uses force to get his way, and genuinely cares about many of his clients. | |

Detective Patsy: On occasion, as Harry doesn't outwardly appear that competent. In "This Corpus Ain't Habeas Anymore", a sorority girl hires Harry to find out why a schoolmate that she threatened's body is in her trunk. Turns out she thought that she'd killed her, stuffed her in the trunk, then hired Harry to try and establish a cover story for herself. | |

Deadpan Snarker: Harry gets into this on occasion, most notably when dealing with rude clients or uncooperative police officers. | |

Berserk Button: Harry really doesn't like Domestic Abuse. He physically threatens an abuser in "The Fine Art of Murder." | |
