Lead swinger

Aside from the problem that some were 'old crocks' and some leadswingers, there was the entirely avoidable problem caused by failure to acclimatise the drafts.

Murphy was not Swan's first choice of partner for a case like this, or any case. But he was the only other Murder Squad detective available, since all the rest were up in Dundalk for a double shooting. TP was not only a leadswinger and a slipstreamer, he looked like a right throwback too, with those sideburns and aviator specs, not to mention the wide tie just hiding the gaps between his strained shirt buttons.
