Forensic #001 · The Linwood Mausoleum
Linwood Cemetery, on the city's south side — March 1948
At 06:10 on Monday the cemetery gardener at Linwood found the door of the Garber family mausoleum standing open. Inside, laid out on the flagstones, was the body of Mr. Edgar Mead, a tea-importer from the city, dead at least thirty hours. Mead had no business at Linwood; the Garbers had been gone from town for a fortnight. Six events make up the story between Mead's last known evening and the gardener's morning round. The pathologist, the post office, and a forced car-boot give the four threads that pin them. Put them in order.
