Le Mystère de la chambre close (1933)
Le corps d'un riche collectionneur d'objets d'art chinois est retrouvé dans sa propre chambre, une balle dans la tête. La police conclut à un suicide. La présence de l'arme dans sa main confirme cette thèse. Le détective Philo Vance est persuadé que le collectionneur a été victime d'un assassinat. Avec l'aide d'un policier et du procureur, il décide de mener l'enquête. Peu à peu, il reconstitue les faits.
