[Inspector Zhang 05] • The Perfect Alibi

Inspector Zhang of the Singapore Police Force is called in to what appears to be an open and shut case. A young woman has been killed during a burglary. The fingerprints on the murder weapon point to a well-known house-breaker. And his bite marks are on the victim’s arm. But the burglar has a cast-iron alibi because at the time of the murder he was in police custody.

The Deputy Commissioner wants Inspector Zhang to find out how the burglar managed to get out of the locked cell – but that is easier said than done and the mystery puts the inspector’s deductive skills to the test.
