2 1/2 stars. It started slow but it picked up. This is not so much a mystery but a look at the meaning of justice to a police officer. Constable Craig starts off believing in following all the rules when it comes to investigating crimes while his older partner is vocal about regulations allowing the criminals to get away with it and he is willing to push the lines a bit. When Sgt. Miller gets arrested and convicted of planting evidence Craig knows he is innocent yet the police department seems to be doing little to try to investigate to clear Miller. When the chance comes Craig must determine if means are justified to frame the criminal who got away and framed Miller in the first place.
There are some twists and it so easy to see how a police detective who believed in the system becomes disillusioned. Now he may end up being part of the problem.

like 3.5 stars, really
A very different kind of mystery novel, in which a somewhat hardened criminal leads a group of his compatriots into pulling off an armored car robbery. The cops eventually figure out who the culprit is, but proving it is a different matter. One cop makes a mistake which may set the head thief free, but which may put himself behind bars.
I must say this books was very refreshing in its solution. It's not so much of a mystery, actually, but rather a suspense story, because the author tells you everything along the line and you are left to wonder how the good guy is going to get out of his predicament. The solution was a fine one, one I haven't seen duplicated since. And I read a lot of mystery novels!
I'd definitely recommend it for people who enjoy British crime fiction. Don't write it off because it's older...it's still very good!
