A party at the home of a wealthy couple to celebrate the recent acquisition of a valuable painting results in the painting's theft from a locked room that's been under constant observation, and the subsequent murder of one of the guests. A no-nonsense private detective and a college professor turned bartender team up to solve who did it and how.
Also included is the article "Writing 'The Play of Light and Shadow.'"
Mystery fans who enjoy the "impossible crime" stories of writers like John Dickson Carr, Paul Halter, and Edward D. Hoch should find this one appealing.
"The Play of Light and Shadow" by Barry Ergang is one of the best short mysteries I have ever read. Intriguing characters, a solid, believable setup, excellent pacing and an in-many-ways unexpected, waaay satisfying conclusion! What effective mystery-writing is all about! --Thomas B. Sawyer – Showrunner/Head Writer for "Murder, She Wrote" and bestselling novelist
"Highly readable and enjoyable."--Dave Zeltserman, multi-award-winning author
