The Detective Detector by O. Henry

Sleep Cove
About this episode

The Detective Detector is a Sherlock Holmes parody by the American author William Sydney Porter who wrote under the pseudonym of O. Henry. 


In the story, a master criminal named Avery Knight takes on the challenge of predicting where a detective on a murder case will go to look for the murderer. He commits a random murder then tries to anticipate the moves of the great detective Shamrock Jolnes by reverse-engineering the detective's famous methods. When that approach fails, Knight decides to follow his own theory instead.
