A collection of short stories featuring Inspector Sloan. There is a confusing story about a woman killed in a sauna when the heat was turned up too high. A scientific group's alarm is dismantled with ease but how could someone have cracked the code that was only recently implemented. There are 14 other stories; some aren't quite mysteries but all are entertaining.

I am about 60% sure I missed almost half of the Literary and contextual references in here. Which is saying something for me. So I might need to reread this but I will say Aird is a great short story writer. Dare I say, a better short story writer than Christie.
