In 1917, 18-year-old Ruth Cruger disappeared. She’d last been seen
getting her ice skates sharpened in the motorcycle shop of a man
named Alfredo Cocchi. Newspapers reported that she probably ran off
with a boyfriend, and New York police said that there were no clues
to go on. But an investigator named Grace Quackenbos Humiston
decided that she would do whatever it took to find her. She became
known as “Mrs. Sherlock Holmes.” Brad Ricca’s book is Mrs. Sherlock
Holmes: The True Story of New York City’s Greatest Female Detective
and the 1917 Missing Girl Case That Captivated a Nation. Say hello
