Murder off Miami

WE have pleasure in presenting to the public, between these covers, what we believe to be an entirely new departure in Crime Fiction.
|
Cablegrams, original handwritten documents, photographs, police reports, criminal records, and even actual clues in the form of human hair, a piece of blood-stained curtain, etc., are all contained in this folder, each in its correct order as received at police headquarters, thereby forming the complete Dossier of a crime. The mystery is presented to the public in exactly the same sequence as that in which it was unravelled by the investigating officer, without any extraneous or misleading matter; photographs of living people taking the place of the descriptions of characters which appear in an ordinary detective novel. Clues to the identity of the murderer are scattered liberally through the investigating officer's reports, and are also to be found in the photographs. |

On reaching the end of the investigating officer's fifth report all the available evidence is to hand, yet he finds himself unable to solve the mystery. He then receives instructions to arrest the murderer from his superior, who has never seen any of the people concerned, but reaches the correct solution of the mystery solely upon the evidence in Dossier form, exactly as it is presented to you here.
