A rare work on the lives of celebrated spies, detectives, and secret service agents from the 19th-century in Europe and America. ‘Knots Untied’ describes the discovering drug rings, money counterfeiters, murderers, stories of carting criminals to prison, plans to take down robbers, and fake lottery schemes. Author George McWatters gives a valuable snapshot of law enforcement practices and attitudes in the late 19th-century when detective work was just starting. Unlike other books of its kind, which often focus on the sensational aspects of detective work, McWatters provides readers with a sense of the day-to-day challenges faced by detectives, including the long hours, the physical demands of the job, and the risks involved in confronting criminals.
