| Summary | "Knots Untied; Or, Ways and By-Ways in the Hidden Life of American Detectives" by Officer George S. McWatters is a narrative account written in the late 19th century. The work examines the inner workings of law enforcement in America, focusing on the experiences of detectives as they navigate a world filled with crime and deception. McWatters delves into various social issues and the human condition, providing readers a glimpse into the complexities of justice and morality. The opening of the narrative introduces the author, who shares the impetus for writing these tales—primarily his extensive experiences as a member of the Metropolitan Police in New York City. He emphasizes that the stories he presents are based not only on his own encounters but also on tales shared with him by trusted friends. By highlighting his dedication to humanitarian causes and his role in law enforcement, the beginning sets the stage for a collection of intriguing and thought-provoking stories that promise to illuminate the darker facets of society and the inherent nature of crime.
