Geocache Description:

Fictional detectives (click) generally fit one of four archetypes:

1. The amateur detective (C. Auguste Dupin, Miss Marple); From outside the field of criminal investigation, but gifted with knowledge, curiosity, desire for justice, etc.

2. The private investigator (Mike Hammer, Sherlock Holmes, Thomas Magnum, Philip Marlowe, Hercule Poirot, Sam Spade); Works professionally in criminal and civic investigations, but outside the criminal justice system.

3. The police detective (Inspector Clouseau, Columbo, Lucas Davenport, Dick Tracy); Part of an official investigative body, charged with solving crimes.

4. The forensic specialist (Temperance Brennan, Quincy, Lincoln Rhyme & Amelia Sachs, Beaumont Rosewood & Annalise Villa, CSI teams); Affiliated with investigative body, officially tasked with specialized scientific results rather than solving the crime as a whole.

Created by Edgar Allan Poe, Dupin made his first appearance in Poe's The Murders in the Rue Morgue (1841), widely considered the first detective fiction story.
