The body of a well-dressed man is found in a vacant lot early one morning. With very few clues and no witnesses, it is up to Muller to sort out the true reason for the crime and identify the murderer. - Summary by J. M. Smallheer (3 hr 47 min)

A short novel which had me in tears with the humanity and kindness of the main character, could guess who the killer was in the second half, but the suspense was kept up thru out, would highly recommend this!
