About This Book

A resourceful criminologist teams with his big, good-natured friend to investigate a tangled, artfully concealed murder that unfolds through a series of clues, interviews, burglaries, and surprising discoveries. The narrative moves episodically through staged inquiries, neighborhood surveillance, interrogations of suspects, and the mobilization of a detective's analytical methods alongside the friend's physical presence. Interwoven are moments of atmospheric suspense and methodical deduction that reveal hidden motives and unexpected witnesses, culminating in a logical unmasking of the perpetrator and the resolution of the central mystery.
