They say a picture paints a thousand words, well a Chinese proverb states “One picture is worth ten thousand words.”
Certainly with drawings covering the murder investigation, this is one that will stay in a portion of your thought process for some time. It’s has black and white drawings basic artwork and not one for excellence in artwork but a dark true story of the search for truth for one cop that takes up most of his career time. His persistence pays off and truth prevails.
