Case Closed — June Thomson

A few words from a small-time informer suddenly reopen the unsolved murder of a girl four years before, as well as the unrecovered three quarters of a million pounds, intermittently stolen -- two cases which are somehow tied together.

Detective Inspector Rudd teases half memories, questionable connections, and minutiae as small as the word "transit" until it all coheres. British traditional to a T, and every one of them is crossed with commendable care and intelligence.
