Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
Procedural drama TV shows consistently top the ratings and this book explores the very roots of crime solving, telling the story of the iconic Victorian detective and how he shrewdly cracked criminal cases with superior observations skills and powers of deduction. From murder to train robberies, we see how early police detectives cleverly tracked down killers and thieves to bring them to justice. We see the birth of the Victorian detective and his methods from "Prince of Detectives" Jonathan Whicher to the establishment of the CID and Special Branch, and the introduction of fingerprinting and earliest days of forensic science.
