The Doctor, his Wife, and the Clock
A young investigator, Ebenezer Gryce, is called to probe a baffling nighttime shooting in a city row house after the victim's wife awakens to strange noises and discovers her husband dead while an assailant escapes. Gryce interviews the household, inspects the room, and confronts an absence of clear traces, with locked shutters and ordinary domestic details complicating the inquiry. The narrative proceeds through careful scene examination and witness testimony, emphasizing procedural observation, the tense atmosphere of a private home violated, and the puzzle of identifying a murderer who left almost no clue.
