Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Fabric Defects: Case Histories of Imperfections in Woven Cotton and Rayon Fabrics
The culprit, i.e., the type of defect classified as to cause. Usually has a host of relatives, all of whom have been blessed (or cursed) with extremely similar if not identical features and characteristics. In fact conflicting textile terminology endows them with the further complication of a series of aliases.
The criminal records at the sleuth's disposal are few and far between - no fingerprint files, no rogues gallery - yet he is obliged to present a perfect case in court at the earliest possible date following receipt of his bewildering assignment!
How, oh, how should he proceed to a solution and yet retain his professional reputation?
If only there were some case histories for reference. Certainly there have been thousands of cases, but unfortunately they either were not recorded, or in those instances where records did exist they were hidden in the secret archives of various investigators.
How could records of such case histories be unearthed and made available to those unfortunate creatures who are repeatedly faced with these horrible enigmas?
