He is helped by his sister Nell, with whom he was supposed to go on holiday. Dyke Darrell turns “the Gotham of the North” - as he calls Chicago - upside down in search of the culprit. On the way he encounters old ennemies, kidnappers and masquerades, as he tries to solve “the most audacious crime of my remembrance.”Allan Frank Pinkerton was the son of Allan Pinkerton (1819-1884), the Scottish-American spy, detective and founder of the Pinkerton National Detective Agency, which rose to fame in the mid-19th century.
