The author of Me Detective writes a composite picture of a day and night and part of another day in the round of a police station, Blackmail, jewel robbery, bank hold up, murder, interviews with fences, pimps, call girls and other sources of information and misinformation. One follows the routine procedure, glimpses the human elements involved. Written as fiction but of more interest to those concerned with the factual authenticity of detailed procedure than with the crimes themselves.
