About This Book

Two homicide detectives investigate the sudden arsenic death of a young man found at a city bar, and their initial suspicion falls on the barkeeper who insists he is innocent. An abrasive, self-styled problem-solver named Tennyson Dalrymple appears uninvited and offers to untangle the facts with a peculiar method, forcing the officers to confront uncertainty, procedural gaps, and their own assumptions. The narrative moves between police procedure and the outsider's unorthodox reasoning, exploring doubt, the appeal of tidy solutions, and whether unconventional thinking can displace routine investigative practice.
