Hämärän huoneen arvoitus

The narrative begins on a foggy London night as a desperate, drunken man named Laker confronts the secretive Malpas and is lured into a dim, trap-rigged room where a pistol is fired, a fleeing figure vanishes, and a false jaw is found before Laker is violently thrown down the stairs. The action then shifts to other characters, including an Audrey searching for Dora at a station amid news of the theft of the Finnish queen's necklaces. The story unfolds as a layered detective tale built from mysterious disappearances, clever mechanical traps, investigative episodes, and intersecting personal motives.
