Another engrossing case presented by legendary detective Allan Pinkerton. This one deals with the murder of an elderly German expatriate.

Interesting book, rather clearly written to publicize the success of a Pinkerton detective in a case of murder, and definitely written in a style that matches the late 19th or early 20th century. Not a great work, but a good example of many of the works of the era.

The original "True Crime" story, Allan Pinkerton wrote of one of his cases making it sound like a novel. Interesting case; interesting read.
