About the author

Notorious agency of Scottish-American detective Allan Pinkerton broke strikes and disrupted labor efforts to unionize.

People best know this spy for creating the national agency. In 1849, people in Chicago first appointed Pinkerton. In the 1850s, he partnered with Chicago attorney Edward Rucker in forming the northwestern police agency, later known nationally and still in existence today as Pinkerton consulting and investigations, a subsidiary of Securitas Aktiebolag.

Business insignia of Pinkerton included a wide open eye with the caption, "We never sleep."

People posthumously published exploits of his agents, perhaps some ghostwritten for promotion.

Reviews

[Ronnie Cramer · Rating 4 out of 5]

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

3.5*

[Al Lock · Rating 2 out of 5]

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.

I like these detective books by Pinkerton! This is the second that I've read.

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