Ideas for a fictional story centered around a time - traveling detective
A time - traveling detective goes to the future to stop a crime that will have a major impact on the present. In the future, he discovers a society with advanced technology but also new types of crimes and criminals. He teams up with a local detective from the future and they use their combined skills to track down the mastermind behind the impending crime.
The detective could travel back to the Victorian era to solve a series of murders that were never solved. He has to adapt to the different social norms and technologies of that time. Maybe he uses his modern knowledge of forensics in a limited way, as the tools available are much more primitive.
How about the detective travels through different historical periods looking for a missing artifact that has the power to change the course of history. He visits ancient Rome, feudal Japan, and the Renaissance in his search. Along the way, he meets various historical figures who either help or hinder his quest, all while trying to figure out who stole the artifact and why.
