    About this ebook

    A man stood on a street­corner with a crimson hatbox in his hand. An archbishop approached him and asked what was in the box.

    "Wah Lee's skull. I cracked Vann's pete," is the enigmatic reply.
    From this simple encounter stems the trial of the century. The crimson box does indeed hold the skull of a long-dead Chinaman (or is it?), and the man did break into D.A. Vann's safe (or did he?) One thing is certain: a man died when the safe was cracked, and now somebody has to pay.

    And it just may be the man's lawyer, Elsa Moffit, attorney-at-law with no cases under her belt -- yet!

      We sat in front of a blazing fire in the hearth of the tiny hunting cabin. The chimney drew well as long as the door was kept slightly open, like Lem Putt advised, to get the draft just right. We were sipping a most wonderfully aged 56-year-old Caber

      There is no more useful cranial trait than lateral thinking. Without it we would be short of a lot of inventions, and history would be missing a lot of eureka moments. Simply put, the application of a way of thinking probably accounts for much of wha
