Dusk settled over Briar Hollow as Detective Mara Keene arrived, summoned by shrieks from the locked riverside conservatory tonight alone. Inside, gaslights flickered, casting shadows across orchids, and Constable Weller hovered, clutching a damp brass keyring for the door's security. The victim, Elias Thorne, lay beside a shattered fountain, one glove missing, the rest pinned by spilled ink onto marble. Mara studied the lock plates; none showed forced entry, yet a thin smell of almonds lingered under every opened breeze. Weller whispered that Thorne had hosted an auction, and two guests vanished before the storm hit without leaving any messages. A telegram sat unopened on his desk, addressed to Mara in unfamiliar handwriting, stamped with crimson wax from the future.
