Summary "7 to 12: A Detective Story" by Anna Katharine Green is a detective novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the skilled detective Byrd, who is called to investigate the theft of Mrs. Winchester’s diamonds, valued at twenty-five thousand dollars. As he delves deeper into the case, he navigates through a web of family intrigue and deception, focusing particularly on the mysterious interactions between the members of the Winchester household. The opening of the narrative introduces Detective Byrd as he receives a call regarding a burglary at the Winchester residence. Upon arriving, he learns from Mr. Winchester about the robbery while his wife was momentarily away from the room. Mrs. Winchester’s demeanor raises eyebrows, hinting at much more than simple theft. The detective is immediately struck by the peculiar circumstances surrounding the case and the household dynamics, especially regarding Mrs. Winchester and her maid, Philippa. As he begins his investigation, questions about trust, loyalty, and the hidden motives of those involved emerge, setting the stage for a suspenseful unraveling of the mystery that combines both personal stakes and professional duty.
