Excerpt from Cleek of Scotland Yard: Detective Stories Do you think I'd have waited until now to do it if it could be done? Put him on the case, indeed! How the devil am I to do it when I don't know where on earth to find him? He cleared out directly after that Panther's Paw case six months ago. Gave up his lodgings, sacked his housekeeper, laid off his assistant, Dollops, and went the Lord knows where and why.

Book Description
Excerpt from Scotland Yard: The Methods and Organisation of the Metropolitan Police My Dear Robert, It is more than probable that since this book was written you have changed your uniform and your beat. You are in the North Sea, in Flanders, in Gallipoli. Nowhere can admiral or general wish a better man. I have known you long. I have for many years been thrown among you in all circumstances, and at all times. I have known you trudging your beat, have known you more especially as a detective, have known you in high administrative and executive positions. I have seen you arrest armed murderers, have seen you tactfully reproving a drunkard, have seen you solving tangled problems of crime, have seen you charging a mob, have seen you playing with a lost baby. I do not think there is any phase of your work which I have not seen. And I want the public to know you. You, whether you be Commissioner or constable, occupy a position of delicate and peculiar responsibility. You are poised between the trust and suspicion of those you serve, and you are never quite sure whether you will be blessed or blamed.

Book Description
Excerpt from Scotland Yard Ome day a cold-blooded Izaak Walton will write a treatise on the compleat art of man-hunting. The tracking by society of the men who prey on man is already something of a sport and something of an art - in fiction. In real life it is a crusade, a science, a profession; there is no sporting ethics in it and the police prefer the shortest way to the kill whether it is good sport art or none of these pleasant things. But the quarry has grown clever with science and tech nique. Science plays no favorites and is at the disposal of any one who masters it. Poison serves the criminal as well as the physician. The oxy-acetylene torch will burn through steel as obligingly for the bank burglar as for the steel worker. The Great War, like all other wars, taught criminals new ways of killing. So that the whole fraternity of the under world, from the petty thief who has learned enough to wear gloves when he does his looting to the murderer who uses only vegetable poisons which dissolve and leave no trace in the stomach, all these have taken on new tricks and are adding to them every day. And the hunter has had to keep up with the quarry. The result is that so infinitely complex, delicate and manifold have become the means of weapons of crime as well as those of the hunting down of criminals with radio and X-ray, dicta phone, micro-photography, chemical reagents, psychoanalysis, organization technique, card cataloguing, international police conferences and ten thousand other devices, that the modern detective has come to exercise something of the care of the artist in _choosing weapon and trail in his hunt. But it is still primarily a hunt and each race has its own tracker's tricks. It is interesting to observe, in addition to the fascination of the tricks themselves, how even in hunting down men each race reveals its racial traits.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Lost Naval Papers The mills of Scotland Yard grind Slowly, yet they grind exceeding small. There is nothing showy about them. They work by system, not by inspira tion. Though Dawson was not specially intelligent - in some respects almost stupid - he was dread fully, terrifyingly efficient, because he was part Of the Slowly grinding Scotland Yard machine.

Book Description
Hamilton Cleek is back - or is he? Margot, Queen of the Apaches (the notorious French criminal gang) has been released on bail and vanished, Mr. Narkom has a series of inexplicable murders to solve, there is talk of revolution in Mauravania. And Cleek is missing. Hold on to your hats for another thrilling ride as spying, murder, horse-napping, bombs and political intrigue rear their ugly heads. Thomas W. Hanshew (1857 – 1914) was an American actor and writer, born in Brooklyn, N. Y. He went on the stage when only 16 years old, playing minor parts with Ellen Terry's company. Subsequently he played important roles with Clara Morris and Adelaide Neilson. Later he was associated with a publishing house in London, where he resided at the close of his life. He used, among others, the pen name "Charlotte May Kingsley," and wrote more than 150 novels, some of which were co-authored with his wife, Mary E. Hanshew. Hanshew's best-known creation was the consulting detective Hamilton Cleek, known as "the man of the forty faces" for his incredible skill at disguise. The central figure in dozens of short stories that began to appear in 1910 and were subsequently collected in a series of books, Cleek is based in Clarges Street, London, where he is constantly consulted by Inspector Narkom of Scotland Yard. Hamilton Cleek is laughably unrealistic, at least to the modern reader, not only for his ability to impersonate anyone but for his physical derring-do and his frequent melodramatic encounters with Margot, "Queen of the Apaches", and her partner-in-crime Merode.
