Summary "Holladayn juttu: Salapoliisiromaani" by Burton Egbert Stevenson is a detective novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the shocking murder of Hiram W. Holladay, a wealthy businessman, with his daughter, Frances Holladay, as the prime suspect. The novel unfolds in a tense courtroom setting as various characters—including lawyers and witnesses—grapple with the legal implications and ramifications surrounding the case, driven by intrigue and unexpected revelations. The opening of the novel introduces a busy office atmosphere where the protagonist, Lester, is called upon to review important papers related to the case. The narrative quickly escalates when Royce, an attorney, bursts into the room agitated, revealing the sensational news of Frances being accused of murdering her father. As the characters react to this shocking development, the complexities of the investigation come to light, leading to inquiries about the validity of the testimonies, particularly that of a witness named Rogers. With immediate pressure on Royce to defend Frances, the stage is set for a gripping legal battle, illustrating both the tension of courtroom drama and the thriller elements of a classic detective story.
