When Jacob yet again receive a letter from head police chief Gregory Leister, a new puzzling crime needs solving. Jacob gladly takes the case, but has a hard time getting his head around the clues. A man was found dead inside his room, and both the door and the window was locked! No signs of a struggle, nor exterior wounds is present. How did poor Lewis Brindley meet his fate?
This is the second short story with Jacob Rutherford as the protagonist. I highly recommend that you read the first story first, just to get to know some characters. And of course, Jacob's first case is just as puzzling, as he tries to solve the murder of the most hated man in London!
