Detective Mara Kline arrived at Blackwell Manor, following rumors of stolen jewels and a sudden, silent death inside. The butler led her through corridors scented with lavender, where rain tapped stained glass like cautious fingertips. At the ballroom doors, Inspector Hargrove waited, insisting the victim fell alone, yet no footprints appeared. Lieutenant Sato measured the body beside an overturned violin, its strings gleaming oddly, unbroken despite chaos. Dr. Weller reported a puncture wound and poisoned blood, though the air smelled of clean, lemon polish. Mara studied the fireplace ash, finding a ring of soot too neat, as if arranged deliberately. Guests gathered behind velvet curtains, trading whispers, each denying access to the study during midnight. From the locked desk, Mara uncovered a torn invitation, addressed to no one, and signed with initials only.
