Catalogue synopsis

Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:

"The Thirteenth Chair: A Play in Three Acts" by Bayard Veiller is a play written in 1916. When a murder occurs during a séance at a New York mansion, thirteen guests find themselves locked in with a killer. As Inspector Donohue investigates, medium Rosalie La Grange holds dangerous secrets—including her hidden connection to one of the suspects. With no clues provided and supernatural forces at work, the truth emerges only through otherworldly intervention in this locked-room mystery melodrama.
