In the quaint town of Meadowgrove, a body lay cold. The victim, Mr. Archibald Green, was found in his study. His eyes were wide, fixed on the ceiling. A single gunshot wound marred his chest. The room was undisturbed, except for one detail. A chess piece, the king, was knocked over. The clock ticked, echoing in the silent room. Inspector Amelia Hart entered, her eyes scanning the scene. She knew this was no ordinary murder.
