Up four flights in the rue Morgue, behind a door fastened from within, two women lie dead, and the neighbours who broke in heard a shrill voice that none of them can place: the Frenchman says Italian, the Englishman German, the Spaniard English, the Italian Russian. Bags of gold sit untouched on the floor.

Truth is not always in a well.
