The Old Case

For thirty years he was the sheriff of a quiet county, which is not the same thing as a county where nothing happened. Each episode he takes one file out of the box and tells you how it went: what was missing, who was asked, what did not add up, and what the answer turned out to be. Small places, patient work, and people who are rarely as simple as the first thing you hear about them. About twenty-five minutes each. No gore, nothing grisly, and an answer at the end that makes sense of everyone.
