Down to a Fine Art is a case featured in Criminal Case, appearing as the fourth case of the game as well as the city of Clearford. It is also the fourth case to take place in Vocation City, a district based in Clearford.

Plot
Previously on Criminal Case, Detective Gale Pearson and the player were too late to stop The Ladri from robbing the ancient tomb in Pyramid Park but they immediately head to the art gallery to prevent another heist from occurring. Unfortunately, the team was too late as they found a message written in blood on an art display which said "So close". Above it were the dismembered body parts of news reporter Kate Current sealed inside the art display.

The team shipped the body parts to Evelyn for autopsy where she confirmed that the victim was "sentenced to death by sawing", the term indicating the act of sawing a living person in half. Kate was hung upside down and was then slowly sawed down to chest level. She slowly bled to death in the worst agony possible. Once Kate finally bled out and died, the killer proceeded to cut off all of her limbs and stuff them inside the art display.
