The Unexpected Guest
Lost in the fog, Michael Starkwedder stumbles into Richard Warwick’s study to find him dead and Richard’s wife, Laura, standing near him with a gun. Warwick was a detestable brute hated by his entire household, so when Laura confesses to his murder, Starkwedder agrees to give her an alibi.
The police suspect everyone but are puzzled by a set of unidentified fingerprints. They discover that Warwick made a violent enemy of a man called MacGregor who had gone to Canada after Warwick had killed his child.
Are the fingerprints his? Or do they belong to Laura’s lover whom Laura has lied to protect? After a dramatic confession and another death the police leave, satisfied that the case is closed – whereupon Miss Christie produces one final surprise that twists everything upon its head!
