Dragnet: Case No. 561
Written under the pseudonym of David Knight
Two cops had been shot! It took Joe Friday and Frank Smith six minutes to get to the scene. Seven radio cars, two Felony units and an ambulance were already there. Officer Crane had been shot in the stomach, Sergeant Skinner in the chest. More cops came. They blanketed the area.
Friday got a good description and that was about all. The suspect made a clean getaway.
Joe Friday and frank Smith followed down every clue. Months went by. The man they were after (and some man) committed crime after crime. And always got away. They learned a lot about him. But not his identity.
Then, one day, Joe Friday had a bright idea. After that, if they lived, it was only a question of how and where and when.
