Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Bucholz and the Detectives (1880) is one of more than a dozen mystery novels by the real-life detective, Allan Pinkerton. He founded the Pinkerton Agency, the first detective agency in the United States. The novels promoted his agency, and he set the style for police procedurals ever since: supposedly true cases that he and his Pinkerton men cracked thanks to each detective's "pure and honest heart" (and some tricky undercover work). Here, the crime is murder and robbery. The victim is John Henry Schulte, a rich old German immigrant to Connecticut, killed with an axe. The state attorney suspects the man's young servant, William Bucholz, but can't prove it. And Schulte had a tragic past of screams in the night, including a murderous enemy in the old country. Pinkerton goes to work, applying his famous maxim that, "We never sleep."

Biografía del autor:

Allan J. Pinkerton (1819 - 1884) was a Scottish American detective and spy, best known for creating the Pinkerton National Detective Agency. Pinkerton produced numerous popular detective books, ostensibly based on his own exploits and those of his agents. Some were published after his death and they are considered to have been more motivated by a desire to promote his detective agency than a literary endeavor. Most historians believe that Allan Pinkerton hired ghostwriters, but the books nonetheless bear his name and no doubt reflect his views.
