Synopsis
According to Marcus Chesney, eye-witnesses were unreliable. To observe something, then to relate accurately what was just seen, he felt was impossible.
To prove his point, Chesney set up a test. With witnesses looking on, he calmly sat still while a sinister scarecrow of a man entered the room, walked over to him...and murdered him!
All the suspects were witnesses; each could alibi another. Logically, therefore, no one could have murdered Marcus Chesney. But then why was he dead?
It take Gideon Fell to unravel this Golden Age classic.

Light browning to endpapers and a small tear in the edge of page 147. The book has an odour - probably from the home of a smoker - but the pages are otherwise clean and unmarked. The jacket has quite heavy fading to the spine and browning along the right side of the rear panel. Seller Inventory # 016276
