Horatio Winslow and Leslie Quirk, Into Thin Air (1929)

本书曾入选多个密室书单,相当有名。这两个作者只写过这一本侦探小说。

故事一开头便连续提出好几个不可能犯罪的谜题。干净的石板上突然浮现出文字,镜子表面出现了不久前刚刚处决的传奇怪盗Spook的指纹。犯罪学权威Dr. Klotz判断指纹为真,认定Spook未死,带领大家去挖他的坟墓,却发现Spook的尸体好端端地躺在棺材里,手上的指纹和镜子上的指纹相同——难道尸体会走?更奇怪的是,棺材里出现了Dr. Klotz私藏的一枚宝石!

接下来连续发生两起杀人案,先是通灵会上,凶手在众目睽睽之下升天消逝,尔后又有一次凶手被人逼到墙角,却在空气中凭空消失。Dr. Klotz也死在自己的实验室里,桌上的定影液被人打翻,相片被人取走。

[SPOILER +/-] 魔术师讲解凶犯手法

凶手采用了大量的魔术手法。事先用有文字的石板替换了干净的石板,用印上真指纹的镜子替换了原来的镜子,将宝石放到棺材里。消失的方法是用人形钢丝撑起发光布,将大家注意力引到某一个方向,然后猛然收回魔术道具。
