It has often been declared that a murder – a successful murder, I mean – can never be committed single handed in a busy city, and that on the other hand, once a murder is committed by more than one person, one of the accomplices is sure to betray the other, and that is the reason why comparatively so few crimes remain undetected.

The Old Man[1]

The old man in the corner was an English armchair detective.
