Guy Garrick

In the smoke-filled backrooms and neon-lit streets of early twentieth-century New York, private investigator Guy Garrick applies the cold precision of modern science to humanity's oldest impulses: greed, jealousy, and murder. When a corpse turns up linked to a gambling empire that reaches into the city's highest corridors of power, Garrick and his steadfast assistant Tom Marshall must navigate a underworld where everyone has something to hide. As forensic evidence collides with corruption, Garrick's innovative methods draw the ire of both criminals and the compromised officials who protect them. Arthur B. Reeve, dubbed the 'American Conan Doyle,' pioneered the scientific detective story, embedding his tales with the groundbreaking techniques that would one day become standard police procedure. Guy Garrick is a time capsule of early forensic investigation and a rollicking pulp adventure that captures an era when science was beginning to reshape the battle between order and chaos.
