About This Book

A narrator recounts his acquaintance with a perceptive, analytical man who investigates a brutal double homicide in an urban setting. The pair examine contradictory testimonies, baffling physical evidence, and an improbable escape, and the investigator applies logical reasoning and close observation to reconstruct events, identify an unexpected perpetrator, and explain how the crime occurred. The narrative emphasizes methods of detection and ratiocination, highlights the fallibility of eyewitness accounts, and demonstrates a systematic, clue-driven approach to solving mysteries.
