Features: Reading Marshall Jevons' novels is a rare pleasant experience, which is due to the author's excellent writing that seamlessly blends facts with fictional elements. The description of desires also maintains a touch of solemnity befitting a serious scholar. For readers interested in economics, it not only greatly enhances reading enjoyment but also helps unravel many difficult problems, making it feel far from tedious and instead brings a sense of delightful satisfaction. — Lin Xingzhi
Dennis Gossen committed suicide. Just moments ago, the Harvard University tenure and promotion committee had rejected his appointment as an economics professor. For a scholar, being rejected could be a lifelong disgrace, but for an economist like Gossen, taking his own life over it was simply too senseless.
Soon after, a terrifying incident occurred. The two committee members who had voted against Gossen were (successively murdered). The police found Gossen's fiancée's gloves at the crime scene.
Economics professor Henry Spierman realized that things were not as simple as they seemed. He always felt that there were clues suggesting the killer was someone else. In the end, he deduced the true culprit based on his extensive knowledge of economics. At that moment, the killer was standing right in front of him.
