This morning, Captain Rouseau, chief of the homicide division in Chicago, had been visited by a lady he hadn't seen for a long time. It had been more than a year since Aunt Mary had passed beyond the scope of his authority and interest, Martin had remembered her vividly - as had his right-hand-man, Sergeant Jackson. Neither could ever forget her unswerving loyalty to Lefty which they had seen during the Conley murder case which Peggy Douglas had been so deeply involved.
