The Corner House

A notorious furnished house, long linked with previous misdeeds, becomes the scene of a baffling homicide when a body is discovered and robbery is suspected. A network of observers, informal investigators, and secretive residents pursue cryptic notes, stolen property, deceptive alibis, and a trail of small clues that touch on chance encounters, a motor car, and gambling connections. Tension mounts through narrow escapes, clandestine searches, and strategic manoeuvres until accumulating evidence prompts disclosures, a confession, and a final resolution. The narrative alternates methodical detection with suspenseful episodes and domestic revelations, blending puzzle-solving with questions of duty and loyalty.
