A Parisian apartment block is described room by room in a single frozen moment, and every room opens onto a story, the strangest being one man's fifty-year plan to leave no trace at all.

Despite appearances, puzzling is not a solitary game: every move the puzzler makes, the puzzlemaker has made before.
