A Shot in the Dark - P40

Part forty.

This summary was deliberately written in the present tense (analyse it as if it’s taking place as you read it.)

Harry Jupiter has never set foot in Brighton before. He is, therefore, new to Brighton’s dynamics. His work as a crime reporter for the Daily Clarion keeps him busy enough in London. Besides, his well established and mutually beneficial alliance with DCI Peplow of the Metropolitan Police is another reason why Jupiter works exclusively in London and the villages* round about. It is certainly a cosy arrangement. Jupiter ensures that Peoplow, and his deputies, comes out of all investigations brilliantly, while Peplow makes sure Jupiter gets exclusive, full access to ongoing police inquiries. As a result of which, they have both risen to prominance and fame.

When it comes down to crime reporting, Jupiter regards details as key. Indeed, the usage of details is a trademark of his. Jupiter first made his name covering a peculiar, nasty murder case. The corpse, or its remains, was found in an acid bath. He made a brilliant use of the ghastly details. It did not matter to Peplow these details were made up. He even provided himself these pieces of evidence for the trial.
