Thief
for hire Nick Velvet crosses paths with Captain Jules Leopold, head
of the Violent Crimes Squad of the police force of an unidentified
city in Connecticut. This crossover brings together Edward D. Hoch’s series
characters Velvet and Leopold. Since Nick Velvet is in the CU via a
connection to Sherlock Holmes, so is Captain Leopold. Leopold first
appeared briefly in Hoch's story "Jealous Lover" in the
March 1957 issue of Crime and Punishment,
which was also the first appearance of Hoch's P.I. Al Diamond (later
renamed Darlan). Therefore, Diamond/Darlan is in as well.
