McCarty, Sergeant. Sergeant McCarty was created by Peter Clark MacFarlane (Bilge Kennedy, Daniel Tank, Maisie Wells) and appeared in at least six stories in a variety of magazines and one story collection from 1910 to 1914, beginning with “Sergeant McCarty and the Black Hand Red” (Adventure, Nov. 1910).
“McCarty, the rough-and-ready criminal-snatcher–the detective-genius–the handy man on the "force." He is a student of men, not of psychology, and through long experience has learned the trick of substituting himself for the man he is hunting, of putting the criminal's brain into his own skull.”
