The Thief-Taker: Memoirs of a Bow Street Runner
by T.F. Banks
by T.F. Banks
Pretty cool. A novel about an early police detective in London (1810 or so). The catch is that these guys worked for reward only, and thus were suspected, and likely guilty of much "setting up" of crimes. They were called runners and were open for hire. And the punishment for just about everything was hanging... A series. I will likely pick up another one.
