The Problem of the Perfect Alibi (The Cases of Professor van Dusen, Episode 2)

Boston, at the turn of the century: in the middle of a foggy night a stranger with a toothache has a tooth pulled. The next morning young Paul De Forrest lies stabbed to death in his apartment at the fashionable Avon – and under his hand is a slip of paper bearing the name of his murderer. But Franklin Chase has an alibi that is accurate to the minute: three clocks, three witnesses, two and a half miles away. The reporter Hutchinson Hatch takes the case to Professor Augustus S. F. X. Van Dusen, The Thinking Machine – because two and two always make four, not sometimes, but all the time.
