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.
