The Shadow of the Rope
Authorship not stated
You are Rachel Minchin, leaving a marriage, when your husband is found shot in his study. A staged window, a watch hidden in the chimney, and your packed trunk build a case; you stand trial for a question no one can answer: who fired the shot, and why. Acquitted, you learn a stranger named Mr. Steel has watched every session from the gallery, certain of your innocence and unwilling to say why. His train pulls away as London crowds shout your name; you must decide whether to call him back.
