About This Book

An apparently impossible attack on a young woman found wounded in a sealed, locked chamber prompts a detailed investigation by a sharp-witted young sleuth. The narrative traces methodical searches of the crime scene, interviews and legal proceedings, scientific speculation that unsettles public opinion, and carefully staged surveillance. Clues accumulate through observation and reasoning, producing dramatic confrontations and a surprising explanation that reconciles the physical impossibility with human motives and concealed mechanics. The resolution emphasizes logical deduction over sensationalism, closing the case with a clear account of how the baffling crime was accomplished.
