Features: This is the second work of mystery novelist Van Dine. The novel opens by informing readers that Broadway star Margaret O'Donnell was brutally murdered in her apartment. The police thoroughly searched the apartment, looking for clues and investigating potential suspects. However, as the case deepened, the investigation grew increasingly difficult. All four main suspects had alibis, so who was the real culprit? Detective Philo Vance deduced the unique personality of the criminal from the details and environment of the crime, and then identified the person matching this characteristic among the four through a game of cards—a seemingly wealthy but actually bankrupt murderer.
