The crime horrified all England and led to a national obsession with detection, ironically destroying, in the process, the career of perhaps the greatest detective in the land, Jonathan Whicher of Scotland Yard. Whicher quickly believed the unbelievable--that someone within the family was responsible for the murder of young Saville Kent. Without sufficient evidence or a confession, though, his case was circumstantial and he returned to London a broken man. Though he would be vindicated five years later, the real legacy of Jonathan Whicher lives on in fiction: the tough, quirky, knowing, and all-seeing detective that we know and love today ... from the cryptic Sgt. Cuff in Wilkie Collins's The Moonstone to Dashiell Hammett's Sam Spade.--From publisher description. 000433924 60010 $$aWhicher, Jonathan. 000433924 650_0 $$aDetectives$$zEngland$$zLondon$$vBiography. 000433924 650_0 $$aMurder$$zEngland$$zWiltshire$$xHistory$$y19th century$$vCase studies. 000433924 85200 $$bgen$$hHV7911.W426$$iS86$$i2008 000433924 85641 $$3Table of contents only$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip088/2008000247.html 000433924 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0809/2008000247-b.html 000433924 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0809/2008000247-d.html 000433924 85641 $$3Sample text$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0809/2008000247-s.html 000433924 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:433924$$pGLOBAL_SET 000433924 980__ $$aBIB 000433924 980__ $$aBOOK
