As far as he's concerned, the town has no criminals, which means no crime, and no stress. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut much to Steine's irritation, there's a new constable in town--the keen and clever Constable Twitten, who sees patterns in small, meaningless burglaries and insists on the strange notion that perhaps all the crime has not been cleared out quite as effectively as Steine thinks. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWorse yet, some of Constable Twitten's ideas could be correct: when renowned theater critic A.
