At the beginning of each Columbo episode the audience
witnessed a clever murder and saw the ingenious measures
the murderer took to prevent detection by the police.
Then into the case came Lt. Columbo. He drove a beat-up
old car, wore a dirty, rumpled trench coat that looked
at least ten years old, and acted for all the world like
an incompetent bumbler. He was excessively polite to
everyone, went out of his way not to offend any of the
suspects, and seemed like a hopeless choice to solve any
crime. But all that was superficial, designed to lull the
murderer into a false sense of security. Despite his
appearance, Columbo was one of the shrewdest detectives
on the Los Angeles police force. Slowly and methodically
he pieced together the most minute clues leading
to the identity of the killer.
