End in sight

Today, Hairy Legs passed the 50K mark and it should be getting close to solving the Doogan mystery. Also changed the title to: The Mystery of the Hairy Legs Murder. More complications to run up to the bang-up ending. It's been a fun trip and Ned Martin may go on to another case that takes him from Sacramento to the Bay Area. Stay tuned.
