Memoirs of Marie-Francois Goron, head of the Parisian detective police from 1886 to 1895 - is the history of investigations of real crimes committed in Paris in the late XIX century. Brutal killers, robbers, swindlers, counterfeiters, drug dealers, fallen women - a gallery of portraits of lawbreakers presented by the author and a participant in the investigation of intricate crimes. But his book is interesting not only by describing the deeds of intruders and conducting detective activities, there are many everyday details of life of good Parisian society and the inhabitants of the criminal world. In addition, the author shares his thoughts on the harms and benefits of the press, social inequality, the complexities of police work and the effectiveness of punishment, particularly capital punishment for serious crime. The book includes original portraits of the killers.
