Palisades
Palisades was a location in the Northern Valley, in New Jersey. On top of, and on the west slope, the wealthy had their residences built in the early 20th century. These residences were magnets for petty criminals who were from outside the valley. One of these criminals was Silent Forrester who eluded the police by putting a large engine in a rust bucket of a car and outfitting it with special tires. ()
