Ellis Parker was often called the American Sherlock Holmes. His brilliant detective work solved crimes all over New Jersey and beyond. With a keen mind and dogged determination, he got his man almost every time. He solved a case with 175 suspects, a double killing in a locked room, and numerous other crimes that baffled others. So when the infamous Lindbergh kidnapping occurred almost next door, Parker swung into action. Even though the police had arrested and convicted Bruno Hauptmann, Parker found a different suspect, and got a signed confession. But Hauptmann was executed and Parker's confessed suspect went free. Here for the first time is the whole incredible story. This is an updated and expanded edition of Master Detective, incorporating new information.
