Publisher's Synopsis
A historical fiction novel set in 1912 Chicago. "The murder victim is slumped over his desk, a bullet hole in his forehead, a pool of blood spreading slowly on the green felt blotter on which he lies. The only door to the room is locked and bolted from the inside..." thus began the narrative presented as an intellectual puzzle by my friend and companion, Rodney Morton. What I didn't expect was that the game would be interrupted by a real-life murder-one that involved a former girl friend and her family. Now I had two mysteries to unravel.
