Not a Typographical Error
Sub-Editor Phyllis Crabapple wishes to confirm for sceptical, yet ardent, readers of The City News that the recently reported capture of Cassandra "the Shark" Claw, was in fact not a misprint. Whilst many - including Cassandra - thought that her days of luxury in Shady Valley Retirement Home for Reclacitrant Seniors were assured, it came as a shock to all, that in the middle of a spirited game of bocce, one end of a pair of somewhat rusty hand-cuffs were slipped around around her wrist. It came as even more of a surprise to find the other end firmly attached to the study constructs of the zimmer-frame of senior gumshoe Secret_Squirrel. The ancient Detective was to make a press statement for the City News, to mark the occasion of his (albeit short-lived) renaissance, however at the time of print he was having a well-earned nap."


hahahahahaha

Congrats Squirrel. That may be a record for the longest AVH in the history of Sleuth.
