About the book: 1938 / A woman is killed. And in the room there are four possible murder weapons - a revolver, a razor, a box of sleeping pills and a dagger. According to local policeman Hercule (no, not Poirot) Renard, a scarecrow has been hanging around the house for several days. This is what starts the investigation. The retired Henri Bencolin begins an investigation. As Henri Bencolin says, in this case every mirror gives an incorrect reflection. Every seemingly natural action ends differently than it should. There are too many controversial issues.
