Corrupt police German dime novel

Corrupt police German dime novel, Nat Pinkerton der König der Detectivs (King of Detectives) No. 11, 1907, "The Fake Police Chief", anonymous. "Nat Pinkerton couldn't believe his eyes, when he was over the vanquished criminals he recognized the chief." Based on Allan Pinkerton and his detective agency. From publisher Dresdner Roman Verlag, Dresden. Other series followed, including Jimmy Pinkerton (1919), Fred Pinkerton (1920), and Pinkerton, America's Greatest Detective (1929). The original series is scarce, due not only to war attrition but also since magazine vendors reported that Pinkerton agents would destroy copies when they encountered them.
