书籍介绍
Johnny Wise came to London from Malaya in 1940, met a girl and, when she was unfaithful to him, committed suicide. Retribution came in 1947, catching up with the principals in Johnny Wise’s death in the course of an Exhibition’s pageant. Which of the eleven visored knights killed the maiden in the tower—and how? Inspector Cockrill is baffled. And his task is not made any easier because all the suspects were anonymous in their suits of armour at the time of the murder…

★★★★☆
很强,很恐怖的手法
同是发生在“舞台”背景下的不可能犯罪,brand比derek还是略逊一筹.
It's a fine story yet for some reason not captivating enough for me. It's not hard to figure out who and why even if not every detail of how. And that's not the reason why I didn't enjoy it as much as I wished. Maybe I'm just not into the sealed-room puzzles. Or it's the writing style. I do like certain witty moments.
一个特定的关键不在场证明,因为多条红鲱鱼的存在,而被读者忽视。
密室圣经No.213. 之前看过某书评说这书是最强“三个字”诡计,因此当读到George和Cockrill都说看到某物时,突然浑身打了一个冷战,瞬间明白诡计是什么了。非常强的作品,我一直以为这种诡计只有日本人写得出,brand还真是超前啊!
