The Bolted Bedroom in Vance Case Prompts Mystery
Philo Vance joins District Attorney Markham after Archer Coe commits suicide and is found bolted inside his bedroom. The case, seen as the perfect crime, hinges on odd clues, Vance’s terrier breeding, and his knowledge of Chinese ceramics as he collaborates with Wrede and Gamble to unravel why Coe pinned himself in rather than dying by murder.
