The Man with the Wooden Spectacles — Harry Stephen Keeler

The trial of the man apprehended with a crimson hatbox containing a skull continues with the shenanigans of the Moffit brothers, Silas and Saul, trying to thwart the efforts of Elsa Colby, the young defense lawyer who must win her first case -- or it will be her last!

Elsa finds herself visiting the darkest parts of Chicago in her quest to prove that when her client told the archbishop that the box contained "Wah Lee's skull," he didn't know the box actually had a skull inside.

This classic mystery tale by webwork master Harry Stephen Keeler is every bit as confusing as it sounds -- until Keeler pulls it all together!
