Plot summary

Called back from a teaching post in forensic psychology, Stan Aubray takes up the killing of a man found suspended in a sealed high-rise apartment, the room rigged so a pinhole projects the scene on the wall. The staging recalls the Uncle Eddie murders, the case that earned Stan a promotion after the prime suspect died during an attempted arrest. A second body follows, its limbs hung on wires so a raven appears from the right angle, and Stan's drinking worsens. Detective Carl Uffner, newly promoted, resents Stan's distance. Sandy Strickland, a recovering alcoholic and friend of Crystal, the last Uncle Eddie victim, invites Stan on a hiking trip he declines. A painting matching the projected image leads Stan to antiques dealer Blair Collet.
