On October 12, 1969, publisher Edith Calloway is found dead in her boathouse at Lake Merced, south of San Francisco. The desk in the house has been searched, the door to the lake stands open, and in her clenched hand is a yellowed newspaper clipping. The case is investigated without a computer: just paper, tweezers and an opened envelope. Which of the four on the property killed her, and what did the cipher say that she hid in the box on the desk?
