turns out, at the end of the short story "the big knockover," the continental op is practically HANDED big flora and red o'leary on a silver platter; only to find out from a fatally shot bluepoint vance that the very same "nervous old prisoner" who helped the op catch the crooks in exchange for freedom is actually papadopolous, mastermind of the whole criminal affair.
the story of the continental op's pursuit of papadopolous is detailed in the sequel story "$106,000 blood money."
