About This Book

A celebrated detective and his assistant hurry to a city flat after a woman of ill repute is found dead and a prominent political candidate is arrested. At the scene they note bloodstains, a torn curtain, and disarray that suggest violence and possible tampering. As they interview the police detective, neighbors, and a persistent reporter, suspicion grows that the arrest may be part of a deliberate frame intended to derail an election. The narrative follows careful evidence-gathering, competing motives tied to reputation and politics, and efforts to separate manufactured scandal from the facts of the crime.
