Thieves’ Wit: An Everyday Detective Story is a novel written by Hulbert Footner and first published in 1918. The book tells the story of a young man named Jack Knox who, after losing his job, decides to become a private detective. Jack is not your typical detective, however, as he lacks the experience and resources of his more established counterparts. Instead, he relies on his quick wit and resourcefulness to solve cases.The novel is set in New York City and follows Jack as he takes on a variety of cases, from tracking down stolen jewelry to investigating a murder. Along the way, he encounters a colorful cast of characters, including a beautiful actress, a wealthy businessman, and a gang of thieves.Despite his lack of experience, Jack proves to be a skilled detective, using his knowledge of the city and his ability to think on his feet to solve each case. He also develops a reputation for being a bit of a maverick, often going against conventional wisdom and taking risks that other detectives would not.Thieves’ Wit: An Everyday Detective Story is a fast-paced and entertaining novel that combines elements of mystery, suspense, and humor. It is a classic example of early 20th-century detective fiction and is sure to delight fans of the genre.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
