The Four Left-Handed Maidens and the Highwayman of London City in 1799: An Investigation by Brock Adair, the Resident Detective of Ballymena, County Antrim, and Kitty Bradshaw Brennan, the Red-Headed Mistress of Disguise from Wexford | Ned Byrne

1 post | 1 read

In 2006 a bundle of hand written pages were discovered buried in a garden in the outskirts of Cullybackey near Ballymena, County Antrim. They had been penned by Charles Kinhilt a lawyer from Cullybackey, County Antrim. They had been sealed in sacking and placed in a wooden box which had been covered in what appeared to be bitumen. The contents revealed the journal of one Brock Adair outlining his investigations into crime in County Antrim and indeed the whole of the island of Ireland in the late 1700s and into the 1800s. Further reading revealed a lady called Kitty Bradshaw Brennan from Wicklow who is believed to be Irelands first female investigator although this is not a proven fact .She and Brock conducted many successful enquiries together.

The story was based on one investigation carried out by Brock Adair and Kitty Bradshaw Brennan in 1799 from the journal of Brock which was was written during the 19th Century. It read more like a junior school play script rather than a piece of literature. The style of writing was similar to that one would expect to find in books listed in the under eleven year old section of a library. At 36 pages long, thankfully I quickly reached the end.
