Summary: "The Man Higher Up" by Edwin Balmer and William MacHarg is a detective science fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The book revolves around the character of Luther Trant, a psychological detective who employs modern psychological techniques to solve a complex case involving disappearances and criminal activities within a corrupt corporation. Set against the backdrop of a blizzard in New York, it explores themes of justice, morality, and the hidden intricacies of criminal operations. The plot follows Trant as he is called upon by Rentland, a special agent for the United States Treasury Department, to investigate the mysterious deaths of two dock checkers for the American Commodities Company. The story unfolds as Trant discovers a network of deceit involving customs fraud, manipulation of weight scales, and the potential murder of the checkers.

The combination of suspense, psychological intrigue, and a critique of corporate ethics provides a gripping read for those interested in classic detective fiction infused with scientific elements.
