Based on the memories of a retired police chief, “Les Mystères de la Tour Pointue” (Mysteries of the Pointed Tower) is one of many autobiographical installments in this series which ran for at least two years in Le Journal. Each involved some sort of gruesome murder, such as the one portrayed here in which a dastardly pair strangle an elderly gentleman, presumably over what is or is not written on the pages placed on the table.
