"Elterjedt az a nézet, mely szerint a detektívhistóriák leginkább a lóversenyre emlékeztetnek, ahol sok az induló, az esélyes ló és lovas. "A pénzedért arra fogadsz, akire akarsz." A közmegegyezés szerint az ilyen történetben a favorit nem hasonlít ahhoz, akit a lóversenypályán annak tartanak, vagyis: lehet kívülálló személy is. Nézzük meg, kiről tételezhető fel a legkevésbé, hogy a tettet elkövette, s ezzel tíz közül kilenc esetben munkánk véget is ért."
