On a hot, sultry weekday of summer, in the bank of the small agricultural town of Geneva, business has been bustling all afternoon. Just after the doors have been closed for the day, a knock is heard -- and inwards burst two men, who seize the clerks and bind them -- and then lock them into the safe! "If in the punishment of Eugene Pearson, Dr. Johnson, Newton Edwards and Thomas Duncan, the young men of to-day who are tempted by folly or extravagance learn that their condemnation was but the natural and inevitable result of thoughtless crime -- and if their experience shall be the means of deterring one young man from the commission of a deed, which the repentance of years will not obliterate, I shall feel that I have not labored in vain." -- Allan Pinkerton.
Autorenporträt
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.
