"Brilliant Deduction" asks the question "who are the greatest
detectives ever" and then attempts to find an answer which doesn't
involve fictional characters. The result is nine men whose careers
in the 19th and early 20th century represent the heroic years of
real-world detection, from the very first full-time professionals
to the Prohibition era. Each chapter examines a different detective
(or, in one case, a detective partnership) who became a legend in
his own time, and in some cases a full-fledged celebrity. At the
same time, the larger narrative ties these individual histories
together to explore how real-life detectives rose to such fame for
nearly 100 years, then fell back into obscurity.
