During the early twentieth century, Monmouth County saw more than its fair share of crime, conspiracy and corruption. In the midst of the Prohibition and Great Depression Eras, Detectives Jacob Rue, William Mustoe (the man who could make a horse talk") and Harry Crook investigated, and sometimes participated in, much illegal activity.
