"Full Circle" by Sue Grafton
Overview
The narrator, a private detective, witnesses a traffic accident in which a young woman is killed. The mother of the dead driver hires the narrator to find out who killed her daughter because it turns out she was killed by a gunshot, not the accident. The detective interviews witnesses and people who knew the dead woman, including the woman's roommate, but learns little except that the woman was being stalked by a boyfriend. She eventually discovers that the boyfriend is the roommate's brother, and the killer. When he sees the detective at his house, a high-speed chase ensues that ends in an accident and the death of the young man at precisely the same spot where the first accident occurred.

they're are many universal themes in this the most common one is "Never give up" since she was determined to complete the case Every time she reached to a block or didn't have any progress she would start from the beginning by re-asking the witnesses and so You can say this in other words like " Try your best even if you had to start from the very beginning" or " In order to accomplish a goal, you need to try your very best" The irony: Terry died at the same exact place as Caroline did
