---

A mystery serial presented as an homage to Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot.

Chapter Four: In which Sige relates the details of the case involving a late-middle aged woman who is more clever than her antagonists, and is even clever enough to know she needs the help of a singular private detective.

An Excerpt:

“I think I’m following,” I said.

“Good fellow!” Sige said. “Mrs. Ciminelli further claims that her suspicions were aroused merely by a woman’s intuition. I remember her expression clearly: ‘I simply wasn’t feeling unwell.’”

“They want her out of the house,” I said. “At a particular time of day—a predictable time of day. They want her out of the house so they can be in it.”

“Very astute!” Sige exclaimed. “My mind exactly: they want her out of the house on Tuesdays between noon and four. They have a few people on the payroll. Now, what’s more, Mrs. Ciminelli managed to collect a sample of the treatment they were giving her. They had told her that it was some sort of nucleotide treatment, or some such nonsense, but I had a lab assistant friend of mine at UB test it for me—and would you guess what it was?”
