Summary "Detectives, Inc.: A Mystery Story for Boys" by William Heyliger is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces Dr. David Stone, a blind former police surgeon, who, along with his energetic nephew Joe Morrow and their loyal German shepherd, Lady, becomes embroiled in a series of intriguing cases in their small town. The novel establishes a captivating premise that intertwines themes of crime, investigation, and the unique abilities of a blind protagonist. At the start of the story, the tranquility of Joe's morning is disrupted when he overhears his uncle and a visitor discussing a robbery at the Kent's residence. This revelation sets the stage for Dr. Stone's involvement in solving the robbery case. As he and Joe accompany Lady, the dog proves to be an astute guide and helper. The dialogue reveals hints about the robbery's details, including the suspects and the dynamics of the characters. While uncertainties linger regarding the maid, the chauffeur Donovan, and the homeowner, Harley Kent, the opening lays the groundwork for the unfolding mystery and the clever methods Dr. Stone employs, engaging the reader's curiosity to uncover the truth behind the theft.
