The Kent State University Press is excited to reissue these classic true crime detective stories by Allan Pinkerton , the Scottish American detective and spy who founded the Pinkerton National Detective Agency in 1850.
His agency was the largest private law enforcement organization in the world at the height of its power, and its well-known logo of a large, unblinking eye actually served as inspiration for the term private eye.
