A Crazy-Quilt Of Crime
A STREAMLINED INVESTIGATION
Four Fingers, by Lynn Brock (Collins, 7/6), is a quick-step story crowded with varied characters and dramatic scenes. A car is wrecked. A woman is found dead. She belongs to the wealthy class, and she is has been shot. Her husband was confined in an asylum—but he escaped! A cabinet
minister vanishes. Burglary plays a part. The extremes of society, high and low are interchanging scenes. Certainly interest doesn’t flag. How could it in a crazy quilt of crime. Sergeant Venn appears. His the job of sorting things out and creating order from chaos. His modest physical proportions belie his energetic mind. It is'' somewhat a stark story and for
those who love this kind of thing it is just the kind of thing they love.
