Nick Raider SD #3: Ubojstvo uz prozor
An elderly woman reports two stranglings across the street. The first is a false alarm; the second leads police to a man who wasn’t strangled. Nick investigates.
In Murder at the Window, an elderly woman who suffers from insomnia says she has witnessed two murders within a few days from her apartment window. She claims that both victims were strangled in the building across the street. The first report proves to be a false alarm, giving the police good reason to doubt the second.
This time, however, they find the body of a man with a criminal record. The cause of death contradicts the woman’s account: he wasn’t strangled. Nick Raider decides to investigate that discrepancy. He has to work out what the witness could actually see from her window and what she inferred from the scene.
Marcello Toninelli and Sergio Tuis build a police mystery around the limited view from a single apartment. Readers first hear the witness’s version of events, then have to reconsider it alongside Nick as the police discover what happened in the building across the street.
