Description
"The central puzzle is one of the most baffling in impossible crime fiction: a mysterious stranger, whose face cannot be seen by the several witnesses outside the house, is introduced inside, where he murders the owner and vanishes without trace. The several witnesses inside cannot explain what happened. A search of the house fails to find him, and the witnesses watching the outside say he could not have left. The authorities --examining magistrate, state prosecution, and police--trying to show more make sense of the clues, cannot agree amongst themselves as to the identity of the murderer."--Publisher's description show lessTags
