left the force, copies of the file on his first murder case, the one that
went unsolved.

Never satisfied with the way the case ended, he promised Casey's mother he'd
continue doing his best to solve it. Now, retired, he and his wife take a
vacation, only he has taken a job as consultant to a mystery group that
plays at solving murders at their annual meeting. How was he to know someone
arranged his presence there, that the murder to be played out was very
recognizable as that of Casey?

Nevertheless, that is what he ran into when he arrived at the meeting and
was almost immediately accused of murder himself. Wondering what was really

working against him.
