A little about the story
A violent incident in an apparently sealed room brings reporter Rouletabille into an inquiry where the physical arrangement matters as much as motive.
Each claim about who could enter the room has to be tested against when the witness could see or hear something. Rouletabille's inquiry turns the setting into a set of constraints that the reader can try to work with too.
