THE CLEVEDON CASE

The well-known authority on criminology, Dennis Holt, inherited a house in a remote village, the sort of place in which, to quote himself, "e;nothing ever happens."e; One night at fifty-three minutes past eleven (he was always meticulously accurate about time), his attention was attracted by a peremptory tapping on the window pane. A moment later, the lower sash was slowly pushed up and a young girl appeared. "e;Let me in!"e; she whispered. "e;Please-I have hurt myself."e; That was the beginning of a bewildering series of happenings in the life of Dennis Holt. Suddenly he found himself precipitated into the midst of a bewildering mystery, which at one time seemed to threaten even his own liberty. Patiently piecing together the ascertained facts, Holt eventually presented a remarkable reconstruction of what had taken place on that dramatic night.
