It is the final day of Detective Sergeant Tony Barclay's career. As he packs his desk, he reminisces about the thirty year old murder case he failed to solve. He has the case file on his desk still; an old cardboard thing created before the system went digital. Ratty, sun bleached, and coffee stained, he needs to drop it off at the archive, but he know when he does that it will never be solved. Comparable works include The Murder of Roger Ackroyd
