Detective Books by Frank Pinkerton

Three Intriguing Detective Stories from the 1880s,

the time period after Allan Pinkerton

made detectives famous!

 


Jim Cummings, or The Great Adams Express Robbery, by Frank Pinkerton, was originally published in 1887 as part of The Pinkerton Detective Series. The story relates how a robber, assuming the identity of the famous outlaw Jim Cummings, robs the Adams Express rail shipment of $100,000, and how William Pinkerton, son of the famous Allan Pinkerton, who began the infamous Pinkerton Detective Agency, supervised the team of Pinkerton Detectives who went to extraordinary means to identify and capture the three robbers, and recover most of the stolen money.

 

Dyke Darrel The Railroad Detective, or The Crime of the Midnight Express, by Frank Pinkerton, was originally published in 1886, during an era when railroad detectives worked famous cases. This fictionalized story about detective Dyke Darrel concerns the murder of a railroad express employee and the robbery of $30,000 from the railroad. It is an intriguing story that reveals how detectives worked in the 1880s, before fingerprints were useful, and long before DNA evidence was even heard of. Dyke escapes attempts on his life by the gang he is chasing. Through his expert skills as a detective, he is able to use intriguing clues to put together a case against the culpable suspects.

Five Thousand Dollars Reward, by Frank Pinkerton, was originally published in 1886. The story concerns the death of a young country woman and the intriguing mystery that unfolded to identify and capture her murderer. Meanwhile, detectives are baffled in their investigation by "facts" that don't seem to add up, and by two completely different men who appear to be identical twins - so identical in fact that close associates can not tell them apart. One of the men is a criminal being tracked by a detective, and the other, although sought by detectives, is innocent. This interesting book makes a true who-done-it mystery!
