这可能是有史以来最不同寻常的谜案。
一扇上锁的门后发生了一起谋杀案，情况极其怪异。三位业余侦探前来调查。他们分别是:西蒙普利索尔勋爵、艾玫皮孔先生和史密斯神父(洞察力强的读者或许对他们有似曾相识的感觉）。每一位都给出了完美的解答，创意惊人，逻辑严密。与此同时，牛肉探长却态度轻蔑地坐在一旁，说“我知道是谁干的。
入选2000年这本推理小说了不起！海外榜第四名，1999年周刊文春推理best10海外榜第六名!
Possibly the most unusual mystery ever written. A murder is committed, behind closed doors, in bizarre circumstances. Three amateur detectives take the case: Lord Simon Plimsoll, Monsieur Amer Picon, and Monsignor Smith (in whom discerning readers will note likeness to some familiar literary figures). Each arrives at his own brilliant solution, startling in its originality, ironclad in its logic. Meanwhile Sergean Beef sits contemptuously in the background. "But," says Sergean Beef, "I know who done it!"

Leo Bruce is a pseudonym for Rupert Croft-Cooke (1903-1979). Under this name, Bruce wrote several mystery novels. He created two series, one which featured Sergeant Beef, a British police officer, and one that features Carolus Deane, a schoolteacher who acts as an amateur sleuth.
