About This Book

A determined detective is hired by a troubled young man to solve the double murder of a wealthy couple at their country mansion. The narrative follows the detective's methodical inquiries — morgue inspection, estate searches, interviews, and a return to a stream where a suspicious stranger was seen — as he collates overlooked details and confronts local assumptions. Clues emerge gradually, exposing secrecy and misdirection, while the investigator's persistence and reasoned deduction aim to prevent a wrongful conclusion and reveal the true sequence of events.
