Beschreibung

In "Pinkerton National Detective Agency: True Crime Stories & P.I. Cases," Allan Pinkerton presents a compelling tapestry of criminal investigations and the art of detection during the tumultuous years of the 19th century. The book is characterized by its vivid prose and thorough documentation, merging narrative storytelling with factual accounts that illuminate the gritty reality of crime and justice. Pinkerton's firsthand experiences as the founder of one of America's first private detective agencies provide a unique lens through which readers can explore notorious cases, unsolved mysteries, and the methods employed by investigators in an era defined by social upheaval and lawlessness. Allan Pinkerton, born in Scotland, immigrated to the United States in the 1840s, where he worked as a cooper before forming his detective agency in 1850. His endeavors were greatly influenced by personal convictions about crime prevention and civil liberties. Pinkerton's career not only shaped modern private investigation but also intertwined with significant historical events, such as the Civil War, where his agency was employed for espionage and security services. His remarkable legacy as a pioneer in criminal justice adds depth to the narratives within this book. I highly recommend "Pinkerton National Detective Agency: True Crime Stories & P.I. Cases" to anyone intrigued by true crime and the evolution of detective work. Pinkerton's authentic voice and the dramatic recounting of real cases not only captivate the reader but also offer invaluable insights into the historical context of American law enforcement. This book is a must-read for enthusiasts of crime history and detective fiction alike.

    In December 1832 a farmer found the body of a young, pregnant woman hanging near a haystack outside a New England mill town. When news spread that Methodist preacher Ephraim Avery was accused of murdering Sarah Maria Cornell, a factory worker, the case gave the public everything they found irresistible: sexually charged violence, adultery, the hypocrisy of a church leader, secrecy and mystery, and suspicions of insanity. Murder in a Mill Town tells the story of how a local crime quickly turned into a national scandal that became America's first "trial of the century." 
     
     
     
    After her death, Cornell's choices about work, survival, and personal freedom became enmeshed in stories that Americans told themselves about their new world of industry and women's labor and the power of religion in the early republic. Ordinary people gave testimony that revealed rapidly changing times. As the controversy of Cornell's murder spread beyond the courtroom, the public eagerly devoured narratives of moral deviance, abortion, suicide, mobs, "fake news," and conspiracy politics. Long after the jury's verdict, the nation refused to let the scandal go. 
     
     
     
    A meticulously reconstructed historical whodunit, Murder in a Mill Town exposes the troublesome workings of criminal justice in the young democracy and the rise of a sensational popular culture.

    He was a model citizen. A hospital volunteer. And one of the most sadistic serial killers of all time. But few people could see the cruel monster beneath the colorful clown makeup that John Gacy wore to entertain children in his Chicago suburb. Few could imagine what lay buried beneath his house of horrors—until a teenage boy disappeared before Christmas in 1978, leading prosecutor Terry Sullivan on the greatest manhunt of his career. 
     
      
     
    Reconstructing the investigation—from records of violence in Gacy's past, to the gruesome discovery of twenty-nine corpses of abused boys in Gacy's crawlspace and four others found in the nearby river—Sullivan's shocking eyewitness account takes you where few true crime books ever go: inside the heart of a serial murder investigation and trial.
