  At an intimate gathering of the Tuesday Night Club, solicitor Mr Petherick recounts the perplexing case of Simon Clode—a wealthy widower shattered by the loss of his granddaughter. Consumed by grief, Clode places his trust in sinister American spiritualists, the Spraggs, eventually rewriting his will: his nieces and nephew receive a modest legacy, while the rest goes to the Spraggs—his trusted mediums. 
  But at Clode’s deathbed signing, everything goes awry. The sealed will is opened, and it’s blank. The Spraggs had every opportunity to tamper with it, but no reason. They were already poised to inherit. His relatives had every motive to nullify the will, but lacked opportunity. In classic Christie fashion, Miss Marple, drawn in by the puzzle, reveals the elegant deception: a disappearing‑ink pen planted among the servants, allowing Clode himself to overwrite his will before death, ensuring his true heirs remain protected. 
  This short story is a masterclass in Christie’s brand of logic‑driven mystery: subtle clues, everyday objects turned weapons of intrigue, and a closed circle of suspects where nothing is as it seems.

  Gabriel is a former undercover cop haunted by the things he's seen and done. He returns to his small hometown of Prophet, taking on the role of sheriff, hoping to mend his fractured relationship with his estranged brother and rebuild his life. But when a chilling murder occurs at Sentinel Rocks, a sacred Makah site on Lake Prophet, Gabriel's dreams of peace and reconciliation are shattered. 
   
   
   
  Gabriel navigates a web of intrigue, where suspects abound; from local tribal elders to fervent Solstice worshippers and even those hunting the elusive Big Foot. When the brutal murder leaves Duke, a loyal Labrador retriever, as the sole witness, Gabriel stumbles upon an unexpected ally—a local animal behaviorist named Tiber. 
   
   
   
  Tiber, a newcomer to Prophet, seeks refuge in this remote haven. Armed with his extraordinary ability to communicate with animals, he offers his expertise through video consultations. While he attributes his skill to his academic background, his intuition and flashes of insight owe as much to his Navajo heritage as to science. 
   
   
   
  With the relentless rain washing away sins and good intentions alike, Gabriel and Tiber must begin to confront their vulnerabilities and unravel the truth.
