About

Fans of historical true crime will enjoy Great Detectives and Their Methods. Published in 1928, it draws primarily from later 19th-century cases. The majority are Scotland Yard investigations, though Dilnot also includes some American, French, and German cases. The crimes range from scams and con jobs to murders and robberies. Each chapter highlights a different detective, with some particularly interesting case he solved, typically using some ingenious method. - Summary by Verla Viera
