The Letters Page: Case File 002
Download. Print. Investigate
A newspaper editor is dead at her desk.
On her desk is a letter about a man who fell four months ago, and it is wrong in three places, in exactly the way one unpublished page was wrong.
Read the letters. Check the proofs. Follow the night keys. Separate what was printed from what someone could only have known.
Then make one complete accusation.
Great for Two!
