The grand library fell silent as the clock struck midnight with an eerie, echoing chime. Detective Harlow adjusted his glasses, scanning the shadowed shelves for any sign of movement. A single candle flickered on the mahogany desk, casting long, trembling shadows across the floor. The victim lay sprawled near the fireplace, a crimson stain spreading across his tailored waistcoat. His pocket watch had stopped at exactly eleven forty-seven, the hands frozen in time forever. A torn page from a rare manuscript clutched in his stiff fingers hinted at a motive. The scent of bitter almonds lingered in the air, a telltale sign of poison’s deadly embrace. Footsteps echoed in the hallway, but no one appeared when Harlow called out into the darkness. The butler’s hands shook as he claimed to have seen nothing unusual that fateful night. A shattered brandy glass lay near the body, its pieces glinting like jagged teeth in the firelight.
