Stop Look and Dig
"Stop Look and Dig" by George O. Smith is a science fiction novel set in a futuristic world where mental telepathy and extrasensory perception (ESP) are prevalent. Written during the mid-20th century, the narrative explores the darker side of these psychic abilities through the adventures of Steve Hammond, a private investigator, who finds himself embroiled in a web of crime and deception. The book delves into topics of morality, crime, and the societal impact of psychic powers. In the story, Steve Hammond faces off against various threatening characters, including a hired gun named Peter Rambaugh and others connected to organized crime. After a close encounter where he is targeted by Rambaugh, Steve's investigation leads him to uncover layers of conspiracy, blackmail, and treachery involving him and a mysterious woman, Martha Franklin. As the tension builds, Steve navigates through physical confrontations and psychological mind games, ultimately revealing darker motivations behind Martha's actions and the nature of organized crime in their world. The climax forces Steve to confront not only the criminals but also the ethical dilemmas posed by the misuse of psychic abilities, leading to a dramatic conclusion where loyalties are tested, and the true nature of characters is unveiled.
