Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Another´s Crime: From the Diary of Inspector Byrnes If you could put on the cap of invisibility and sit for twenty-four hours in the private room of Inspector Byrnes at police headquarters, you would see many strange sights. Representatives of every grade of the community pass through those mysterious portals during the day. All sorts and conditions of men, from the depraved pickpocket to the cultured millionaire; all varieties of the daughters of Eve, from the poor vulgar trull to the refined and lovely queen of society. Here meet youth and age, virtue and vice, industry and idleness, wise and foolish, good and evil. Strange events are there brought to light; life-histories, fantastic, tragic, comic, pathetic, romantic; crimes startling or sordid; human passions are there unfolded of every species - love, hate, revenge, avarice, self-abnegation, ambition, and despair, which is the death of all passion, good or bad.
