后黄金时代的密室杰作,曾经得到过包括罗伯特·艾迪在内的诸多密室研究专家的极高评价,甚至被称为“战后最优秀的原创密室作品”。
海边小镇发生离奇的密室谋杀,出场的每一个嫌疑人都有充分的动机和可能完成犯罪,大侦探维里迪的初次登场,引出极为不同寻常的密室解答。
The little town of Amnestie had not known a death so bloody since the fifteenth century. And certainly none more baffling—to all except Mr Verity. From the moment he appears this bearded giant—ruthless inquirer, devastating wit and enthusiastic collector of the best sculpture— has matters firmly (if fantastically) under control. Things are certainly complicated, but this is hardly enough to deter Mr Verity. As he himself observes : " when the number of suspects is continually increasing, and the number of corpses remains constant, you get a sort of inflation. The value of your individual suspect becomes hopelessly depreciated. That, for the real detective, is a state of paradise."
