Excellent use of the flashback to his early days ala Josephine Tey. J.P. is driven to fulfill a promise he made to the victim's mother on his first homicide case. Excellent mystery with several threads that intertwine.
The novella is also a good view into J.P.'s first partnership in homocide with the guy who taught him the ropes.
