That Affair Next Door
A neighborhood woman's late-night curiosity leads to the discovery of a young woman found dead beneath an overturned cabinet in the adjoining household. Family members, neighbors, and a determined investigator confront inconsistent statements and puzzling evidences—keys, blank cards, missing jewelry, and odd arrivals—while theories and rival hypotheses are advanced. The narrative follows methodical inquiry, shifting suspicions, careful deductions, and staged confrontations that gradually expose a concealed domestic history and resolve the identity and circumstances surrounding the violent death.
