A death takes place in Boston in the early 1900's gaslight era, and
chronicles the mysterious death of 62-year-old John Darrow, who
openly stated having a premonition that he was going to be
murdered. The death takes place in a closed room in which there are
5 other people: the family physician Dr. Ned (the story's narrator)
Gwen (the victim's beautiful daughter), Maitland (our protagonist;
a chemist/lawyer), and two other guests of the family. All the
doors and windows are closed except the window on the East side
which is open about 6 inches. Darrow is in the center of the room
with the other five in different parts of the room. He was seated
on a high backed chair, a full 8 feet away from the open east side
window. Is it a natural death, a suicide or murder most foul? A
detecting competition arises between George Maitland and police
Inspector Godin, reportedly the best detective in the U.S., who
concludes his investigation overnight.
