Mystery
The victim herself is a puzzle. The corpse, clad in
carnival dress and with a huge bird’s-head mask hiding her
face, is revealed to be a respectable, conservatively
behaved woman of the town, a woman whom no one would ever
have imagined made up and dressed so bizarrely. How did
she come, not only to be brutally murdered, but done up so
garishly? Yeadings and his team must look in every
direction, starting with the dead woman’s womanizing
professor husband and her distressed teenage stepdaughter.
How is the star-crossed mathematician (who studies chaos
theory at the roulette table) connected to the dead woman?
Through his drug-damaged son? Could she have been close to-
--have even known the successful bookie, his family, his
bodyguards? The police have good reasons for looking at
all the people in this psychological merry-go-round, and
another attempted murder only complicates their work,
spreading the suspicion to touch even more of the town’s
kaleidoscope of citizens.
