This is a locked room mystery where a body was found on a bed in a 5-star hotel room in Singapore. There is a wound on the body but no weapon. There is no way in and out other than through a door into a corridor that is constantly monitored by CCTV.
As Inspector Zhang said in the story, "The key to solving this mystery lies in understanding that it is not who goes into the room that is important. It is who does not go in."
A short and perfect buffer story for any crime enthusiasts in the style of John Dickson Carr or Soji Shimada. This e-story was published on 16 June 2011. The author has three other Inspector Zhang locked room mysteries under his belt. More information can be obtained from his website www.stephenleather.com
