One day in the middle of summer, Rob Sterling woke up on what seemed to be a normal day. He had breakfast and then relaxed on his couch. He started to watch television. Rob lived in an apartment in the middle of New York City. He was a man in his mid-thirties. He was about six-feet tall, and he was a kind yet serious man. Rob was a detective for the New York Police Department (“NYPD”).
As he was watching television, Rob received a call from the NYPD. They said, “Come to our station on Fifth Street, now!”
Rob arrived at the police station and a police officer said, “Your boss is waiting for you in her office.”
Rob was very worried that he was in trouble. He was starting to sweat and felt as if the walls were caving in on him. What could I have possibly done wrong? Rob thought.

His boss was the leader of the detective division of the NYPD. Rob clearly looked worried because his boss said, “Don’t worry. You aren’t in trouble.” In his boss’s office, Rob was informed that an endangered tiger had been killed. That was illegal. “We want you to find the criminal,” said his boss.
“Where was the crime committed?” asked Rob.
“In Africa.”
“In Africa?”
“Yes, in Africa.”
“But why would I go to Africa?”
“You are a very talented and well-known detective. The government of the country in which the tiger was killed requested that you work on the case. A man named John Smith will help you. He is from Africa and will help you find your way around.”
“Oh, okay.”
“Ah, yes, I almost forgot, your flight is in three hours.”
“Three hours?”
“Do you have a problem with that?”
“N-n-no,
Two years later, the former undercover New York City narcotics detective testified in the Brooklyn Supreme Court, that the Brooklyn South and Queens narcotic squads had been framing innocent people routinely by planting evidence, in order to reach arrest quotas. “It was something I was seeing a lot of, whether it was from supervisors or undercovers and even investigators” , he recounted during his

The Pacific coast port city of San Francisco, California provides a distinctively mysterious backdrop in Dashiell Hammett’s The Maltese Falcon. Unlike many other detective stories that are anchored in well-known metropolises such as Los Angeles or New York City, Hammett opted to place the events of his text in the lesser-known, yet similarly exotic cultural confines of San Francisco. Hammett used his own intricate knowledge of the San Francisco Bay Area - coupled with details collected during a stint as a detective for the now defunct Pinkerton Agency - to craft a distinctive brand of detective fiction that thrived on such an original setting (Paul 93). By examining the setting of 1920’s San Francisco in The Maltese Falcon, it becomes apparent that one of Hammett’s literary strengths was his exceptional ability to intertwine non-fictional places with a fictional plot and characters in order to produce a logical and exceedingly believable detective mystery.
It was a peaceful day here in Times Square, Jordan, Hannah and I had been taking a walk to our favorite hot dog stand when we got there the hot dog vendor had been robbed! All of us were furious because this was our favorite hot dog stand. We promised Tanner, the hot dog vendor, that we would find the culprit.

We asked Mario to describe the culprit “I never got to see
Detective Burcks had enjoyed a great sense of relief following the conclusion of the case. He and Jesse had been written about extensively in nearly every news outlet in the country, most exaggerated extensively, but this time Burcks didn’t mind. He had just finished reading the most recent piece about Peters in the Tribune when he looked at his watch and concluded that his day was over. He stood up, put on his jacket, and was almost to the door when his phone began to ring. Giving it a moment’s thought, Detective Burcks turned his back to the phone and closed the door, thinking to himself not this time.
Whether he is seen as a paragon of justice or a cautionary tale of self-destruction, Eliot Ness managed to do some lasting good in his time. Despite his haphazard social life and questionable choices, none can deny that he was crucial to a large scale reformation of the police forces not only in Cleveland, but all over America. His actions while on duty proved that the law could be enforced in a proper and honest way, inspiring many to join the police force even to this day. There is no question that his story will remain, well into the future, for everyone to see; the story of Eliot Ness, the Untouchable.

Unusually, from the outset, The Wire does not have a clear protagonist or villain. Instead, the series depicts the criminals, the police force, and the politics that impact upon the police investigation. As the series expands over the following four seasons to encompass almost every aspect of American urban reality, including the workforce, the political system, the school system and the newspaper industry, the drugs investigation remains as the one common thread throughout. (Sabin, Wilson, Speidel, Faucette, & Bethell, 2014, pg. 154) Ultimately, The Wire over its 60 episodes is not concerned with a single protagonist nor a single case, but multiple characters and systems building a complete picture of the American city in decline. Through the window of Baltimore and the lens of the drug trade, it views and comments on universal contemporary realities. (Telegraph, 2009)
