Summary: He wasn't exaggerating.
***
I'd dismissed him at first, thought he was a charlatan peddling detective quackery.
But I've been too close for too long, seen that light in his eyes when he puts it all together. Uncanny fire.
Young constables use his methods and get better results; us oldsters stopped complaining.
He'd never become a copper. But we'd welcome him in a heartbeat.
