Today/nr the/at private/jj detective/nn will/md also/rb investigate/vb insurance/nn claims/nns or/cc handle/vb divorce/nn cases/nns ,/, but/cc his/pp$ primary/jj function/nn remains/vbz what/wdt it/pps has/hvz always/rb been/ben ,/, to/to assist/vb those/dts who/wps have/hv money/nn in/in their/pp$ unending/jj struggle/nn with/in those/dts who/wps have/hv not/* ./.
It/pps is/bez from/in this/dt unpromising/jj background/nn that/cs the/at fictional/jj private/jj detective/nn was/bedz recruited/vbn ./.




The/at mythological/jj private/jj eye/nn differs/vbz from/in his/pp$ counterpart/nn in/in real/jj life/nn in/in two/cd essential/jj ways/nns ./.
On/in the/at one/cd hand/nn ,/, he/pps does/doz not/* work/vb for/in a/at large/jj agency/nn ,/, but/cc is/bez almost/ql always/rb self-employed/jj ./.
As/cs a/at free-lance/nn investigator/nn ,/, the/at fictional/jj detective/nn is/bez responsible/jj to/in no/at one/pn but/in himself/ppl and/cc his/pp$ client/nn ./.
For/in this/dt reason/nn ,/, he/pps appears/vbz as/cs an/at independent/jj and/cc self-reliant/jj figure/nn ,/, whose/wp$ rugged/jj individualism/nn need/vb not/* be/be pressed/vbn into/in the/at mold/nn of/in a/at 9/cd to/in 5/cd routine/nn ./.
On/in the/at other/ap hand/nn ,/, the/at fictional/jj detective/nn does/doz not/* break/vb strikes/nns or/cc handle/vb divorce/nn cases/nns ;/. ;/.
no/at client/nn would/md ever/rb think/vb of/in asking/vbg him/ppo to/to do/do such/jj things/nns ./.
Whatever/wdt his/pp$ original/jj assignment/nn ,/, the/at fictional/jj private/jj eye/nn ends/vbz up/rp by/in investigating/vbg and/cc solving/vbg a/at crime/nn ,/, usually/rb a/at murder/nn ./.
Operating/vbg as/cs a/at one/cd man/nn police/nn force/nn in/in fact/nn if/cs not/* in/in name/nn ,/, he/pps is/bez at/in once/rb more/ql independent/jj and/cc more/ql dedicated/vbn than/cs the/at police/nn themselves/ppls ./.
He/pps catches/vbz criminals/nns not/* merely/rb because/cs he/pps is/bez paid/vbn to/to do/do so/rb (/( frequently/rb he/pps does/doz not/* receive/vb a/at fee/nn at/in all/abn )/) ,/, but/cc because/cs he/pps enjoys/vbz his/pp$ work/nn ,/, because/cs he/pps firmly/rb believes/vbz that/cs murder/nn must/md be/be punished/vbn ./.
Thus/rb the/at fictional/jj detective/nn is/bez much/ql more/ap than/cs a/at simple/jj businessman/nn ./.
He/pps is/bez ,/, first/rb and/cc foremost/rb ,/, a/at defender/nn of/in public/jj morals/nns ,/, a/at servant/nn of/in society/nn ./.


	It/pps is/bez this/dt curious/jj blend/nn of/in rugged/jj individualism/nn and/cc public/jj service/nn which/wdt accounts/vbz for/in the/at great/jj appeal/nn of/in the/at mythological/jj detective/nn ./.
By/in virtue/nn of/in his/pp$ self-reliance/nn ,/, his/pp$ individualism/nn and/cc his/pp$ freedom/nn from/in external/jj restraint/nn ,/, the/at private/jj eye/nn is/bez a/at perfect/jj embodiment/nn of/in the/at middle/jj class/nn conception/nn of/in liberty/nn ,/, which/wdt amounts/vbz to/in doing/vbg what/wdt you/ppss please/vb and/cc let/vb the/at devil/nn take/vb the/at hindmost/jjt ./.
At/in the/at same/ap time/nn ,/, because/cs the/at personal/jj code/nn of/in the/at detective/nn coincides/vbz with/in the/at legal/jj dictates/nns of/in his/pp$ society/nn ,/, because/cs he/pps likes/vbz to/to catch/vb criminals/nns ,/, he/pps is/bez in/in middle/jj class/nn eyes/nns a/at virtuous/jj man/nn ./.
In/in this/dt way/nn ,/, the/at private/jj detective/nn gets/vbz the/at best/jjt of/in two/cd possible/jj worlds/nns ./.
He/pps is/bez an/at individualist/nn but/cc not/* an/at anarchist/nn ;/. ;/.
he/pps is/bez a/at public/jj servant/nn but/cc not/* a/at cop/nn ./.
In/in short/jj ,/, the/at fictional/jj private/jj eye/nn is/bez a/at specialized/vbn version/nn of/in Adam/np Smith's/np$ ideal/jj entrepreneur/nn ,/, the/at man/nn whose/wp$ private/jj ambitions/nns must/md always/rb and/cc everywhere/rb promote/vb the/at public/nn welfare/nn ./.
In/in the/at mystery/nn story/nn ,/, as/cs in/in The/at-tl Wealth/nn-tl of/in-tl Nations/nns-tl ,/, individualism/nn and/cc the/at social/jj good/nn are/ber two/cd sides/nns of/in the/at same/ap benevolent/jj coin/nn ./.




There/ex is/bez only/rb one/cd catch/nn to/in this/dt idyllic/jj arrangement/nn :/: Adam/np Smith/np was/bedz wrong/jj ./.
Not/* only/rb did/dod the/at ideal/jj entrepreneur/nn not/* produce/vb the/at greatest/jjt good/nn for/in the/at greatest/jjt number/nn ,/, he/pps ended/vbd by/in destroying/vbg himself/ppl ,/, by/in giving/vbg birth/nn to/in monopoly/nn capitalism/nn ./.
The/at rise/nn of/in the/at giant/jj corporations/nns in/in Western/jj-tl Europe/np-tl and/cc the/at United/vbn-tl States/nns-tl dates/vbz from/in the/at period/nn 1880-1900/cd ./.
Now/rb ,/, although/cs the/at roots/nns of/in the/at mystery/nn story/nn in/in serious/jj literature/nn go/vb back/rb as/ql far/rb as/cs Balzac/np ,/, Dickens/np ,/, and/cc Poe/np ,/, it/pps was/bedz not/* until/in the/at closing/vbg decades/nns of/in the/at 19th/od century/nn that/cs the/at private/jj detective/nn became/vbd an/at established/vbn figure/nn in/in popular/jj fiction/nn ./.
Sherlock/np Holmes/np ,/, the/at ancestor/nn of/in all/abn private/jj eyes/nns ,/, was/bedz born/vbn during/in the/at 1890s/nns ./.
Thus/rb the/at transformation/nn of/in Adam/np Smith's/np$ ideal/jj entrepreneur/nn into/in a/at mythological/jj detective/nn coincides/vbz closely/rb with/in the/at decline/nn of/in the/at real/jj entrepreneur/nn in/in economic/jj life/nn ./.
Driven/vbn from/in the/at marketplace/nn by/in the/at course/nn of/in history/nn ,/, our/pp$ hero/nn disguises/vbz himself/ppl as/cs a/at private/jj detective/nn ./.
The/at birth/nn of/in the/at myth/nn compensates/vbz for/in the/at death/nn of/in the/at ideal/nn ./.


	Even/rb on/in the/at fictional/jj level/nn ,/, however/rb ,/, the/at contradictions/nns which/wdt give/vb rise/nn to/in the/at mystery/nn story/nn are/ber not/* fully/rb resolved/vbn ./.
The/at individualism/nn and/cc public/jj service/nn of/in the/at private/jj detective/nn both/abx stem/vb from/in his/pp$ dedication/nn to/in a/at personal/jj code/nn of/in conduct/nn :/: he/pps enforces/vbz the/at law/nn without/in being/beg told/vbn to/to do/do so/rb ./.
The/at private/jj eye/nn is/bez therefore/rb a/at moral/jj man/nn ;/. ;/.
but/cc his/pp$ morality/nn rests/vbz upon/in that/dt of/in his/pp$ society/nn ./.
The/at basic/jj premise/nn of/in all/abn mystery/nn stories/nns is/bez that/cs the/at distinction/nn between/in good/nn and/cc bad/nn coincides/vbz with/in the/at distinction/nn between/in legal/jj and/cc illegal/jj ./.
Unfortunately/rb ,/, this/dt assumption/nn does/doz not/* always/rb hold/vb good/jj ./.
As/cs capitalism/nn in/in the/at 20th/od century/nn has/hvz become/vbn increasingly/ql dependent/jj upon/in force/nn and/cc violence/nn for/in its/pp$ survival/nn ,/, the/at private/jj detective/nn is/bez placed/vbn in/in a/at serious/jj dilemma/nn ./.
If/cs he/pps is/bez good/jj ,/, he/pps may/md not/* be/be legal/jj ;/. ;/.
if/cs he/pps is/bez legal/jj ,/, he/pps may/md not/* be/be good/jj ./.
It/pps is/bez the/at gradual/jj unfolding/vbg and/cc deepening/nn of/in this/dt contradiction/nn which/wdt creates/vbz the/at inner/jj dialectic/nn of/in the/at evolution/nn of/in the/at mystery/nn story/nn ./.




With/in the/at advent/nn of/in Sir/np Arthur/np Conan/np Doyle's/np$ Sherlock/np Holmes/np ,/, the/at development/nn of/in the/at modern/jj private/jj detective/nn begins/vbz ./.
Sherlock/np Holmes/np is/bez not/* merely/rb an/at individualist/nn ;/. ;/.
he/pps is/bez very/ql close/jj to/in being/beg a/at mental/jj case/nn ./.
A/at brief/jj list/nn of/in the/at great/jj detective's/nn$ little/jj idiosyncrasies/nns would/md provide/vb Dr./nn-tl Freud/np with/in ample/jj food/nn for/in thought/nn ./.
Holmes/np is/bez addicted/vbn to/in the/at use/nn of/in cocaine/nn and/cc other/ap refreshing/vbg stimulants/nns ;/. ;/.
he/pps is/bez prone/jj to/in semi-catatonic/jj trances/nns induced/vbn by/in the/at playing/nn of/in the/at vioiln/nn ;/. ;/.
he/pps is/bez a/at recluse/nn ,/, an/at incredible/jj egotist/nn ,/, a/at confirmed/vbn misogynist/nn ./.
Holmes/np rebels/nns against/in the/at social/jj conventions/nns of/in his/pp$ day/nn not/* on/in moral/jj but/cc rather/rb on/in aesthetic/jj grounds/nns ./.
His/pp$ eccentricity/nn begins/vbz as/cs a/at defense/nn against/in boredom/nn ./.
It/pps was/bedz in/in order/nn to/to avoid/vb the/at stuffy/jj routine/nn of/in middle/jj class/nn life/nn that/cs Holmes/np became/vbd a/at detective/nn in/in the/at first/od place/nn ./.
As/cs he/pps informs/vbz Watson/np ,/, ``/`` My/pp$ life/nn is/bez spent/vbn in/in one/cd long/jj effort/nn to/to escape/vb from/in the/at commonplaces/nns of/in existence/nn ./.
These/dts little/jj problems/nns help/vb me/ppo to/to do/do so/rb ''/'' ./.
Holmes/np is/bez a/at public/jj servant/nn ,/, to/to be/be sure/jj ;/. ;/.
but/cc the/at society/nn which/wdt he/pps serves/vbz bores/vbz him/ppo to/in tears/nns ./.


	The/at curious/jj relationship/nn between/in Holmes/np and/cc Scotland/np-tl Yard/nn-tl provides/vbz an/at important/jj clue/nn to/in the/at deeper/jjr significance/nn of/in his/pp$ eccentric/jj behavior/nn ./.
Although/cs he/pps is/bez perfectly/ql willing/jj to/to cooperate/vb with/in Scotland/np-tl Yard/nn-tl ,/, Holmes/np has/hvz nothing/pn but/in contempt/nn for/in the/at intelligence/nn and/cc mentality/nn of/in the/at police/nn ./.
They/ppss for/in their/pp$ part/nn are/ber convinced/vbn that/cs Holmes/np is/bez too/ql ``/`` unorthodox/jj ''/'' and/cc ``/`` theoretical/jj ''/'' to/to make/vb a/at good/jj detective/nn ./.
Why/wrb do/do the/at police/nn find/vb Holmes/np ``/`` unorthodox/jj ''/'' ?/. ?/.
On/in the/at face/nn of/in it/ppo ,/, it/pps is/bez because/cs he/pps employs/vbz deductive/jj techniques/nns alien/jj to/in official/jj police/nn routine/nn ./.
Another/dt ,/, more/ql interesting/jj explanation/nn ,/, is/bez hinted/vbn at/in by/in Watson/np when/wrb he/pps observes/vbz on/in several/ap occasions/nns that/cs Holmes/np would/md have/hv made/vbn a/at magnificent/jj criminal/nn ./.
The/at great/jj detective/nn modestly/rb agrees/vbz ./.
Watson's/np$ insight/nn is/bez verified/vbn by/in the/at mysterious/jj link/nn between/in Holmes/np and/cc his/pp$ arch-opponent/nn ,/, Dr./nn-tl Moriarty/np ./.
The/at two/cd men/nns resemble/vb each/dt other/ap closely/rb in/in their/pp$ cunning/nn ,/, their/pp$ egotism/nn ,/, their/pp$ relentlessness/nn ./.
The/at first/od series/nn of/in Sherlock/np Holmes/np adventures/nns ends/vbz with/in Holmes/np and/cc Moriarty/np grappling/vbg together/rb on/in the/at edge/nn of/in a/at cliff/nn ./.
They/ppss are/ber presumed/vbn to/to have/hv plunged/vbn to/in a/at common/jj grave/nn in/in this/dt fatal/jj embrace/nn ./.
Linked/vbn to/in Holmes/np even/rb in/in death/nn ,/, Moriarty/np represents/vbz the/at alter-ego/nn of/in the/at great/jj detective/nn ,/, the/at image/nn of/in what/wdt our/pp$ hero/nn might/md have/hv become/vbn were/bed he/pps not/* a/at public/jj servant/nn ./.
Just/rb as/cs Holmes/np the/at eccentric/jj stands/vbz behind/in Holmes/np the/at detective/nn ,/, so/rb Holmes/np the/at potential/jj criminal/nn lurks/vbz behind/in both/abx ./.




In/in the/at modern/jj English/jj ``/`` whodunnit/nn ''/'' ,/, this/dt insinuation/nn of/in latent/jj criminality/nn in/in the/at detective/nn himself/ppl has/hvz almost/ql entirely/rb disappeared/vbn ./.
Hercule/np Poirot/np and/cc Lord/nn-tl Peter/np Whimsey/np (/( the/at respective/jj creations/nns of/in Agatha/np Christie/np and/cc Dorothy/np Sayers/np )/) have/hv retained/vbn Holmes'/np$ egotism/nn but/cc not/* his/pp$ zest/nn for/in life/nn and/cc eccentric/jj habits/nns ./.
Poirot/np and/cc his/pp$ counterparts/nns are/ber perfectly/ql respectable/jj people/nns ;/. ;/.
it/pps is/bez true/jj that/cs they/ppss are/ber also/rb extremely/ql dull/jj ./.
Their/pp$ dedication/nn to/in the/at status/nn quo/fw-wdt has/hvz been/ben affirmed/vbn at/in the/at expense/nn of/in the/at fascinating/jj but/cc dangerous/jj individualism/nn of/in a/at Sherlock/np Holmes/np ./.
The/at latter's/nn$ real/jj descendents/nns were/bed unable/jj to/to take/vb root/nn in/in England/np ;/. ;/.
they/ppss fled/vbd from/in the/at Victorian/jj parlor/nn and/cc made/vbd their/pp$ way/nn across/in the/at stormy/jj Atlantic/np ./.
In/in the/at American/jj ``/`` hardboiled/jj ''/'' detective/nn story/nn of/in the/at '20s/nns and/cc '30s/nns ,/, the/at spirit/nn of/in the/at mad/jj genius/nn from/in Baker/np-tl Street/nn-tl lives/vbz on/rp ./.


	Like/cs Holmes/np ,/, the/at American/jj private/jj eye/nn rejects/vbz the/at social/jj conventions/nns of/in his/pp$ time/nn ./.
But/cc unlike/in Holmes/np ,/, he/pps feels/vbz his/pp$ society/nn to/to be/be not/* merely/ql dull/jj but/cc also/rb corrupt/jj ./.
Surrounded/vbn by/in crime/nn and/cc violence/nn everywhere/rb ,/, the/at ``/`` hardboiled/jj ''/'' private/jj eye/nn can/md retain/vb his/pp$ purity/nn only/rb through/in a/at life/nn of/in self-imposed/jj isolation/nn ./.
His/pp$ alienation/nn is/bez far/ql more/ql acute/jj than/cs Holmes'/np$ ;/. ;/.
he/pps is/bez not/* an/at eccentric/nn but/in rather/rb an/at outcast/nn ./.
With/in Rex/np Stout's/np$ Nero/np Wolfe/np ,/, alienation/nn is/bez represented/vbn on/in a/at purely/ql physical/jj plane/nn ./.
Wolfe/np refuses/vbz to/to ever/rb leave/vb his/pp$ own/jj house/nn ,/, and/cc spends/vbz most/ap of/in his/pp$ time/nn drinking/vbg beer/nn and/cc playing/vbg with/in orchids/nns ./.
More/ql profound/jj and/cc more/ql disturbing/jj ,/, however/rb ,/, is/bez the/at moral/jj isolation/nn of/in Raymond/np Chandler's/np$ Philip/np Marlowe/np ./.
In/in a/at society/nn where/wrb everything/pn is/bez for/in sale/nn ,/, Marlowe/np is/bez the/at only/ap man/nn who/wps cannot/md* be/be bought/vbn ./.
His/pp$ tough/jj honesty/nn condemns/vbz him/ppo to/in a/at solitary/jj and/cc difficult/jj existence/nn ./.
Beaten/vbn ,/, bruised/vbn and/cc exhausted/vbn ,/, he/pps pursues/vbz the/at elusive/jj killer/nn through/in the/at demi-monde/nn of/in high/jj society/nn and/cc low/jj morals/nns ,/, always/rb alone/rb ,/, always/rb despised/vbn ./.
In/in the/at end/nn ,/, he/pps gets/vbz his/pp$ man/nn ,/, but/cc no/at one/pn seems/vbz to/to care/vb ;/. ;/.
virtue/nn is/bez its/pp$ own/jj and/cc only/ap reward/nn ./.
A/at similar/jj tone/nn of/in underlying/vbg futility/nn and/cc despair/nn pervades/vbz the/at spy/nn thrillers/nns of/in Eric/np Ambler/np and/cc dominates/vbz the/at most/ql famous/jj of/in all/abn American/jj mystery/nn stories/nns ,/, Dashiell/np Hammett's/np$ The/at-tl Maltese/jj-tl Falcon/nn-tl ./.
Sam/np Spade/np joins/vbz forces/nns with/in a/at band/nn of/in adventurers/nns in/in search/nn of/in a/at priceless/jj jeweled/jj statue/nn of/in a/at falcon/nn ;/. ;/.
but/cc when/wrb the/at bird/nn is/bez found/vbn at/in last/ap ,/, it/pps turns/vbz out/rp to/to be/be a/at fake/nn ./.
Now/rb the/at detective/nn must/md save/vb his/pp$ own/jj skin/nn by/in informing/vbg on/in the/at girl/nn he/pps loves/vbz ,/, who/wps is/bez also/rb the/at real/jj murderer/nn ./.
For/in Sam/np Spade/np ,/, neither/cc crime/nn nor/cc virtue/nn pays/vbz ;/. ;/.
moreover/rb ,/, it/pps is/bez increasingly/ql difficult/jj to/to distinguish/vb between/in the/at two/cd ./.


	Because/cs the/at private/jj eye/nn intends/vbz to/to save/vb society/nn in/in spite/nn of/in himself/ppl ,/, he/pps invariably/rb finds/vbz himself/ppl in/in trouble/nn with/in the/at police/nns ./.
The/at latter/ap are/ber either/cc too/ql stupid/jj to/to catch/vb the/at killer/nn or/cc too/ql corrupt/jj to/to care/vb ./.
In/in either/dtx case/nn ,/, they/ppss do/do not/* appreciate/vb the/at private/jj detective's/nn$ zeal/nn ./.
Perry/np Mason/np and/cc Hamilton/np Burger/np ,/, Nero/np Wolfe/np and/cc Inspector/nn-tl Cramer/np spend/vb more/ap time/nn fighting/vbg each/dt other/ap than/cs they/ppss do/do in/in looking/vbg for/in the/at criminal/nn ./.
Frequently/rb enough/qlp ,/, the/at police/nn are/ber themselves/ppls in/in league/nn with/in the/at killer/nn ;/. ;/.
Dashiell/np Hammett's/np$ Red/jj-tl Harvest/nn-tl provides/vbz a/at classic/jj example/nn of/in this/dt theme/nn ./.
But/cc even/rb when/wrb the/at police/nns are/ber honest/jj ,/, they/ppss do/do not/* trust/vb the/at private/jj eye/nn ./.
He/pps is/bez ,/, like/cs Phillip/np Marlowe/np ,/, too/ql alienated/vbn to/to be/be reliable/jj ./.
Finally/rb ,/, in/in The/at Maltese/jj-tl Falcon/nn-tl among/in others/nns ,/, the/at clash/nn between/in detective/nn and/cc police/nns is/bez carried/vbn to/in its/pp$ logical/jj conclusion/nn :/: Sam/np Spade/np becomes/vbz the/at chief/jjs murder/nn suspect/nn ./.
In/in order/nn to/to exonerate/vb himself/ppl ,/, he/pps is/bez compelled/vbn to/to find/vb the/at real/jj criminal/nn ,/, who/wps happens/vbz to/to be/be his/pp$ girl/nn friend/nn ./.
What/wdt was/bedz only/rb a/at vague/jj suspicion/nn in/in the/at case/nn of/in Sherlock/np Holmes/np now/rb appears/vbz as/cs a/at direct/jj accusation/nn :/: the/at private/jj eye/nn is/bez in/in danger/nn of/in turning/vbg into/in his/pp$ opposite/nn ./.




It/pps is/bez the/at growing/vbg contradiction/nn between/in individualism/nn and/cc public/jj service/nn in/in the/at mystery/nn story/nn which/wdt creates/vbz this/dt fatal/jj dilemma/nn ./.
By/in upholding/vbg his/pp$ own/jj personal/jj code/nn of/in behavior/nn ,/, the/at private/jj detective/nn has/hvz placed/vbn himself/ppl in/in opposition/nn to/in a/at society/nn whose/wp$ fabric/nn is/bez permeated/vbn with/in crime/nn and/cc corruption/nn ./.
That/dt society/nn responds/vbz by/in condemning/vbg the/at private/jj eye/nn as/cs a/at threat/nn to/in the/at status/nn quo/fw-wdt ,/, a/at potential/jj criminal/nn ./.
If/cs the/at detective/nn insists/vbz upon/in retaining/vbg his/pp$ personal/jj standards/nns ,/, he/pps must/md now/rb do/do so/rb in/in conscious/jj defiance/nn of/in his/pp$ society/nn ./.
He/pps must/md ,/, in/in short/jj ,/, cease/vb to/to be/be a/at detective/nn and/cc become/vb a/at rebel/nn ./.
On/in the/at other/ap hand/nn ,/, if/cs he/pps wishes/vbz to/to continue/vb in/in his/pp$ chosen/vbn profession/nn ,/, he/pps must/md abandon/vb his/pp$ own/jj code/nn and/cc sacrifice/vb his/pp$ precious/jj individualism/nn ./.
Dashiell/np Hammett/np resolved/vbd this/dt contradiction/nn by/in ceasing/vbg to/to write/vb mystery/nn stories/nns and/cc turning/vbg to/in other/ap pursuits/nns ./.
His/pp$ successors/nns have/hv adopted/vbn the/at opposite/jj alternative/nn ./.
In/in order/nn to/to save/vb the/at mystery/nn story/nn ,/, they/ppss have/hv converted/vbn the/at private/jj detective/nn into/in an/at organization/nn man/nn ./.


	The/at first/od of/in two/cd possible/jj variations/nns on/in this/dt theme/nn is/bez symbolized/vbn by/in Mickey/np Spillane's/np$ Mike/np Hammer/np ./.
At/in first/od glance/nn ,/, this/dt hero/nn seems/vbz to/to be/be more/ap rather/in than/in less/ap of/in an/at individualist/nn than/cs any/dti of/in his/pp$ predecessors/nns ./.
For/in Hammer/np ,/, nothing/pn is/bez forbidden/vbn ./.
He/pps kills/vbz when/wrb he/pps pleases/vbz ,/, takes/vbz his/pp$ women/nns where/wrb he/pps finds/vbz them/ppo and/cc always/rb acts/vbz as/cs judge/nn ,/, jury/nn and/cc executioner/nn rolled/vbn into/in one/cd ./.
