Detective Marlowe arrived at the Victorian mansion just as the cold morning fog began slowly lifting from the wet ground. Inside the grand foyer, a wealthy man's body lay sprawled across the cold marble floor beneath the enormous crystal chandelier. The victim's wide lifeless eyes stared upward with an expression of pure terror that nobody could ever possibly forget completely. A single silver letter opener rested quietly near his pale outstretched hand, glinting oddly with traces of dark dried blood. Three nervous guests stood huddled together in the dim corner, each one watching the detective with eyes full of fear. Somewhere upstairs, the old grandfather clock struck seven times, its mournful chimes echoing through the silent house like ghostly whispers. Marlowe pulled out his worn leather notebook and began writing, knowing this case would prove very difficult beyond all measure. Outside, the rain began falling steadily against the windows, and somewhere out in the darkness, the killer was still watching.
