Despite six suspects who had motive and opportunity, the authorities were stumped; it seemed impossible to prove that anyone could have killed Frank Dorrance . . . Enter Dr. Gideon Fell It was "advantage, the murderer," but the famed Dr. Gideon Fell would not be aced so easily. If he could discover how the murder was committed, he'd have his killer . . . unless the murderer made a backhand shot and killed the good doctor first.
