520 Ellis Parker, a detective known in the early 1900s as the
"American Sherlock Holmes," was the man members of other
law enforcement agencies turned to when they were baffled.
Even Scotland Yard thought he was brilliant. Long before
the advent of today's forensic science tools, he solved
over 98% of the murders in his New Jersey county,
sometimes never even leaving his desk. Drawing on the
emerging discipline of psychology and his uncanny
deductive reasoning skills, he was a "profiler" before the
term existed, earning the "Holmes" nickname and a
worldwide reputation for solving cases that baffled
everyone else. Then he got into the biggest case of his
career: the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby in 1932.
Things began to go terribly wrong, as he drove himself to
unimaginable depths in pursuit of the truth. The genius
died in prison, on the eve of a presidential pardon.--From
publisher description.
