This book is quite hard to classify. It seems like it could indeed do well as a play, but it is rather dated...the police use a method called "The Third Degree" to cause their prisoner—the man who was in the room with the murder victim—to confess to doing it. It takes us through the death and the confession, then the efforts of the accused man's wife to clear his name.
The story was interesting as I read to see if the accused man would get off...but ultimately the story had no main point other than "Police should not coerce confession by hypnosis." Since I only paid about thirty cents for my copy, though, it's all good!
