Mrs. Sullivan published this book in 1938 and I have the 1983 reprint. It is an autobiography, she being from a 'police' family and serving in the early 20th C. as a female cop. The chapters recount cases. She had wide experience with gypsies, in homicide, with pickpockets, etc.
For example, the Harlem Renaissance is widely celebrated among English majors today, but she worked undercover in the district from 1914-1918, obtaining evidence to shut down disorderly houses and the like.
Her engaging writing style make this book usable in a high school or junior high school history class emphasizing reading. A group of students could all read the first chapter and then one chapter of their choice, with each student later having a chance to share their chapter with the group.
No index.
