"Bucholz and the Detectives" by Allan Pinkerton is a captivating mystery set in the village of South Norwalk, Connecticut, where the murder of a reclusive and miserly old man named Henry Schulte throws the community into turmoil. Schulte's servant, William Bucholz, quickly becomes the main suspect, and the story follows the intense investigation as suspicion and fear grip the town. Schulte, known for his strange habits and tight-fisted ways, is found brutally murdered after returning from a trip to New York, and Bucholz's panicked reaction only deepens the suspicion against him. As the evidence mounts and the town descends into chaos, detectives work to unravel the truth behind the crime and uncover the real killer amidst the web of relationships and secrets within the village.

Summary
About the AuthorAllan Pinkerton was a Scottish-American cooper, abolitionist, detective, and spy, best known for creating the Pinkerton National Detective Agency in the United States and his claim to have foiled a plot in 1861 to assassinate president-elect Abraham Lincoln. During the Civil War, he provided the Union Army – specifically General George B. McClellan of the Army of the Potomac – with military intelligence, including extremely inaccurate enemy troop strength numbers. After the war, his agents played a significant role as strikebreakers – in particular during the Great Railroad Strike of 1877 – a role that Pinkerton men would continue to play after the death of their founder.
