Sobre este artículo
Manchester : John Heywood, 1895. First edition. The authentic memoirs of the legendary Manchester detective, widely thought to be a model for Sherlock Holmes - an unorthodox policeman who relied on a mastery of disguise as well as a network of informers. The man who solved the Manchester Cab Murder, he became the first Superintendent of the Manchester C.I.D. in 1897. Reminiscences of thieves, card-sharpers, fraudsters, burglars, race-course crooks, bullies and cadgers, bogus railway bonds, confidence tricks, arsonists, anarchists, gambling hells, and much else. A supplementary volume was published at his own expense in 1901. Demy 8vo (23cm). 464pp. Portrait frontispiece. Illustrations. Original green armorial cloth gilt; top edge gilt; lightly rubbed and a little worn; cloth a little discoloured in places; internally clean and a reasonable copy of a difficult title.
