A different kind of case
The Ounce Off the Beam
gave her account of the night after 's scale went wrong — five parts, same as always. An ounce was off the beam and Tuesday's ledger line was gone. She said she never touched either.
A suspect gave a five-part account of the night. One sequence is true — the rest is padding.

Eight attempts. Land all five in the right place and his alibi breaks.
