"The Spiritualists and the Detectives" by Allan Pinkerton is a collection of detective stories written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the intersection of spiritualism and crime, highlighting cases that challenge the very fabric of society during a time when spiritualistic practices were gaining popularity. Central to the narrative is the character Lilly Nettleton, a complex young woman whose desires and actions set the stage for a tale filled with intrigue, deception, and moral dilemmas. At the start of the story, we are introduced to the idyllic setting of Kalamazoo, Michigan, where the Nettleton family leads a quiet life. The narrative swiftly turns when a young preacher, the Rev. Mr. Bland, arrives, igniting a whirlwind of emotions in Lilly. She becomes entangled in a dangerous liaison with him, spiraling into a world of ambition and betrayal. The opening chapters set the groundwork for Lilly’s transformation and the unfolding drama that ensues as Pinkerton, the main detective, investigates the implications of spiritualism in the darker dealings of society, unraveling the complexities of human nature and the underbelly of deceit amidst the allure of the spiritualist movement.
