What this mystery is about:
An ingenious suicide, which somehow smells of murder, in a sealed room on the zoo grounds… A pair of professional magicians (young, hot-headed, assorted male and female) with a grudge against each other that dates back four generations… A Bornese tree-snake named Patience… A pistol shot that wrings an eager smile from a devoted relative… A dinner rapidly becoming charcoal in a very empty house all decked out for a party… A reptile house which becomes the scene of increasingly amazing events… A photograph that causes an unaccountable shock… Excitement on the catwalk of an empty theater… A burned paper match that incites a frenzied attempt upon the life a beautiful girl.
