Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Read this as part of my research on the history of detection and the police force in Britain. Pretty fascinating fictional account of how it may have come about, evolved through the ages. Well written and interesting to read. ( ) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
This epic novel embraces the story of the Bow Street Runners, forerunners of the modern police force, who were founded by novelist Henry Fielding in 1748. They were the earliest detective force operating from the courts to enforce the decisions of magistrates. John Creasey's account also gives a fascinating insight into family life of the time and the struggle between crime and justice, and ends with the establishment of the Metropolitan Police after the passing of Peel's Act in 1829. Splendidly authoritative! Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
