| Summary | "OSCAR THE DETECTIVE; OR, DUDIE DUNNE, THE EXQUISITE DETECTIVE" by Old Sleuth is a detective novel written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around the main character, Dudie Dunne, a seemingly effeminate and gentle young man with hidden skills, as he navigates a series of dangerous encounters while uncovering criminal activities in New York. His adventures begin with a humorous incident involving a group of boys who mock him before leading to more serious dealings with thieves and criminals. At the start of the narrative, Dudie Dunne finds himself the target of a gang of rough boys who attempt to rob him, showcasing both his vulnerability and the light-hearted tone of the story. However, as the plot unfolds, it becomes clear that Dunne is far more capable than he appears. His mission takes a dramatic turn when he confronts criminals at a bar, leads to an intricate game of deception and theft, and ultimately plunges him into a web of intrigue involving hired thieves and hidden identities. As the tale progresses, it becomes evident that Dunne is not only adept at outsmarting petty criminals but also has a formidable side that hints at greater confrontations to come.
