Summary "Ashton-Kirk, Criminologist" by John T. McIntyre is a detective novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on Ashton-Kirk, a criminologist who appears to solve mysteries through a blend of intellectual curiosity and a keen appreciation for the psychology of crime. As the narrative unfolds, a brutal murder involving a "well-known clubman" named Tom Burton sets the stage, drawing Ashton-Kirk into the web of deception surrounding the crime. At the start of the tale, we are introduced to Ashton-Kirk, who expresses skepticism towards the nature of modern crime, believing that the artistry of criminality has diminished over time. As he engages in a conversation at Scanlon's Gymnasium, news of the shocking murder emerges, prompting curiosity and concern among the characters present. The initial chapter establishes a tense atmosphere as the characters react to the unfolding mystery, while introducing significant figures like Bat Scanlon and Nora Cavanaugh, whose relationships and secrets hint at deeper connections to the crime. This opening portion sets the tone for an engaging detective story filled with intrigue, moral dilemmas, and the potential unraveling of hidden truths. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
