The opening
It is 3:14 in the morning, raining, and you are in the ballroom of the Palmerston Hotel. Someone has put a white sheet over Delphine Vaughan, the heiress everyone was dancing with an hour ago. There are three witnesses on the couches: the society journalist, the penniless cousin, and the butler who is too calm. You already know one of them is lying. Your coat, with a piece of evidence in its pocket, is in a suite on the seventh floor that you should not have been in. What do you do?
