Autobiography of an English Detective, Vol. 2 of 2 (Classic Reprint)

Overview

Excerpt from Autobiography of an English Detective, Vol. 2 of 2

It is perhaps unnecessary to remark that in making these selections from rough leaves scribbled over with memoranda of a busy life, I have been governed - more or less unconsciously - by a desire to appear as well as possible before the public. I am far, however, from wishing to insinuate that I have not sometimes failed lamentably as a detective officer. Those failures have been frequent enough; but I do not like to parade them - choosing, in preference, to set out my successes. A pardonable weakness it seems to me.
