A veteran American detective tells thirty-five of the cases from his half-century career: the Preller murder, a big cotton swindle, the tracing of train wreckers, moonshining in the oil regions and a robbery aboard a Wabash night train in 1883. He writes plainly, promising the inside facts rather than literary polish.
