Hook, Sam. Sam Hook was created by Hildegarde Tolman Teilhet and appeared in Hero by Proxy (1942), Double Agent (1945), and Assassins (1946).

Sam Hook is large, paunchy, in his mid-fifties, with a square face “the color of an old eggshell, and tired, inflamed eyes.” He works for the American embassy in Paris, but it is not known that he is Colonel Samuel X. Hook, AUS, SHAEF, and that he uses the embassy to oversee efforts against Nazi sympathizers and Japanese and Communist spies.
