The story of the legendary Pinkerton detective who took down the Molly Maguires and the Wild Bunch
The operatives of the Pinkertons National Detective Agency were renowned for their skills of subterfuge, infiltration, and investigation, none more so than James McParland. So thrilling were McParlands cases that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle included the cunning detective in a story along with Sherlock Holmes.
Riffenburgh digs deep into the recently released Pinkerton archives to present the first biography of McParland and the agencys cloak-and-dagger methods. Both action packed and meticulously researched, Pinkertons Great Detective brings readers along on McParlands most challenging cases: from young McParlands infiltration of the murderous Molly Maguires gang in the case that launched his career to his hunt for the notorious Butch Cassidy and the Wild Bunch to his controversial investigation of the Western Federation of Mines in the assassination of Idahos former governor.
Filled with outlaws and criminals, detectives and lawmen, Pinkertons Great Detective shines a light upon the celebrated secretive agency and its premier sleuth.
