| 520 | _a"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 narrative builds tension as Trant utilizes his psychological insights to confront the company's president, Welter, ultimately exposing the broader corrupt practices operating "higher up" within the corporation. 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.
