About this ebook
"A fictionalized account of the real-life experiences of Canadian-born Stephen A. Doyle, who became a police detective. 'As a child I had often heard my father speak of Scotland Yard, and I imbibed the idea that to be a detective meant something very fine. It appealed to me as a life of service. ...the day came when I turned with such a loathing from the work that I had chosen that it was as if I had crawled out of a nest of writhing serpents.' His first detective job was for Duluth, MN. Subsequently he became a detective against detectives, both in the States and in British Columbia. His closing tricks involved a murder on Chicago's West Side, and a nifty, nifty trick he played on an assassin, and then in the court room." --
