George Bellairs - The Characters
Inspector Littlejohn
Famous as Inspector Littlejohn, this Scotland Yard sleuth received a promotion to Superintendent late in his career. Littlejohn is very con- scious of his age and fears he is being "kicked upstairs." He also fears that he is patronized by the younger men with whom he works, and that they consider his methods dated. He has, however, lost none of his ability to sift through clues to arrive at a correct solution.
