OverviewComplete original text, plus: Author biography Annotations Definitions I made about GBP60 by a book called John Carruthers, Indian Policeman, which consisted of a number of more or less fictitious detective stories, something on the lines of Sherlock Holmes. If not true, they might have been true. Edmund C. Cox was a British police officer in Victorian India, whose thirty-year career brought him into close contact with criminals at every level of Indian society.The twelve short mystery and adventure stories in this book draw heavily on Cox's own experiences, as his plucky alter ego John Carruthers deals with dastardly dacoits, cunning counterfeiters, wicked uncles, false witnesses, and even witchcraft.A fascinating insight into the life of a police officer at the peak of the British Raj.This edition, prepared from the original 1905 text, features geographical, historical and geographical notes, as well as reproductions of the original artworks.
