I still remember the look on his face when I told him what happened. He had been in the crime investigation field for years. He was the greatest detective the police force had ever seen. H e had seen things that would scar most people for life and yet he hadn't been bothered at all. But this particular event was different because the victim, was his daughter. "Where was she seen last," the detective asked. His face was stolid yet I could hear the pain and panic in his voice. "Uh I'm pretty sure she was seen at the theater sir. She was uh on her way to work." I couldn't concentrate on my words. My mind was in so many other places. I felt like a mother whose baby just died. His daughter was my best friend for life. I hadn't fully come to terms with the fact that she may be dead. I won't believe it until I see her corpse. "I'll start my search there. We won't lose hope that she may still be alive, but don't lose your sense of reality either." His voice had a coldness to it and his face looked like someone whose life was taken out of him. "Let's go," I said with mor...
“Just weeping. I can still hear her weeping now sometimes. I know the exact sound of it, like a note you hear or a song that keeps spinning around in your head and you can’t forget it.”
"I'm heading out to make an arrest." He replied, his tone carried a slight hint of Incertitude as to the motive of this inquiry.
The movie The Maltese Falcon is about a private investigator who is striving to unravel the mystery surrounding a black enamelled bird known as the Maltese Falcon. Samuel Spade, the protagonist of the story, is what was known as a “hard-boiled” detective. Men such as that rarely show a tender side (if they have one). Likewise, they are physically tough, frequently resorting to guns or fists to get what they want. In addition, they tend to be amoral, yet with an inflexible code of honour of their own.

Reward power in Detective Doe’s case is very complicated because of the harm extrinsic rewards can have on a person’s intrinsic motivations (Vansteenkiste et al. 2006). Intrinsic motivation is key in Detective Doe’s line of work because many of the people who join the NYPD do so out of a sense of wanting to give back and help communities. By adding more extrinsic rewards or forms of compensation this will take away from the fulfillment of a task and the interest of it as well (Deci 1972). By keeping a focus on the intrinsic rewards and overall satisfaction of police work Detective Doe is able to properly influence and motivate his followers.
After receiving a confession letter from the perpetrator of a mass murder, a retired detective decides he must solve the case himself before the murderer strikes again.
One of the most fundamental elements of a literary work is the setting. It usually includes the place, time and social conditions of the described world and affects the story immensely. It allows the reader to relate to the events and characters within a story. It explains to the reader why the characters behave in a certain way or why they are susceptible to certain situations. As Welty states, ''Every story would be another story, and unrecognizable if it took up its characters and plot and happened somewhere else. . . . Fiction depends for its life on place''. It can be argued that this is no different when it comes to television shows or the works of cinematography. The appropriate selection of the setting has a substantial effect on how the fictional world is perceived and can result in a perfectly created sense of space for the story the audience wants to follow. It enables the audience to effectively visualize the characters' environment, stimulates their imagination and helps them to identify with the characters' everyday life struggles. The established setting does not only act as a decorative background for the unfolding story, but it also draws the

On February 27th, 2014 I had the pleasure to interview Detective Vincent Velazquez who was referred to me by Professor Paul Guerrucci. Vincent currently works at the Atlanta Police Department located in 226 Peachtree Street, Atlanta, GA 30303.

I was able to ask questions about his personal life, full details of his profession, current case assignments, criminal investigation procedures and existing problems in the investigation process.
"And I say the girl's dead and we all helped to kill her and that's what matters."
The idea of a detective catching an elusive convict or solving an improbable crime has been prevalent in all corners of the world, spread throughout many cultures and societies. The detective genre is held as the idea that an individual has to solve a crime. This detective usually has nothing to gain from solving the crime, but they see it more as an obstacle. The detective doesn’t always take every case, as human beings, we are too often curious of the impossible; our natural instinct is to question why and how things work in this world. People crave mystery, to taste a bit of improbable, to see what the detectives see, to see what is overlooked by many. The idea of an intelligent witty, sharp “sleuth” with an obedient sidekick has been prevalent
Right when he said that, I felt like a real mother. Then, I made a horrible realization. My prized possession; the picture of my mother and father, was in our room. I could not leave that behind. If I was going to die, I wanted to do it with them in my hand. Before I went back, I made sure that my brothers were safe. I put them on a lifeboat, hugged them, and said goodbye. I quietly prayed that this moment would not be the last time I saw them. Quickly, I ran as fast as I could back to the room.

“The Dying Detective” was dramatized by Michael and Mollie Hardwick. The short story became a theatre play and had an interesting take of Sherlock Holmes’s way to solve a mystery. One morning, Watson came to visit Sherlock since he worried for his dear friend after hearing he had fallen ill. He spoke of an illness from a type of plant- Watson had never been cognizant or aware of this illness. However, Sherlock had feigned his illness. He objected to any medical assistance from Watson. Instead, he demanded that he wanted Culverton Smith to treat him since he had experience in the study of plants. Sherlock did not wish for Smith to treat him. Instead it was a way to lure him and reveal his undoing. Smith was a man who caused another being’s death by the name of Victor Savage- his own cousin. Sherlock was determined to reveal his true colors with a very clever plan.
One of the most popular literary forms is the detective genre. The most remarkable detective author of all time is the late nineteenth century writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. His most prominent works are the famous Sherlock Holmes stories. These novels and short stories set the standard for the genre.
