| Summary | "A Capillary Crime and Other Stories" by Francis Davis Millet is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The stories explore various themes driven by intrigue, human emotions, and unexpected occurrences, with the titular tale "A Capillary Crime" centering on the mysterious murder of an artist in Paris and the investigation that follows. At the start of "A Capillary Crime," the narrative unfolds in a quiet street in Montmartre, Paris, which reflects a juxtaposition of the bustling city life nearby. The scene sets a foreboding tone as it introduces the sudden death of artist Charles Mandel, whose lifeless body is discovered in his studio under mysterious circumstances. A young woman, familiar with the locality, emerges anxious and flustered, hinting at her connection to the artist, while police officers begin their examinations amid a gathering crowd. As the investigation commences, the tragic incident reveals layers of complex relationships and motivations, capturing the reader's interest in uncovering the truth behind the unsettling events.
