"The Case of the Lamp That Went Out" is one of the earlier Joseph Muller stories by Austrian author, Auguste Groner, originally published in German in 1899. The English translation was published in 1910 in a collection of five detective stories in "Joseph Muller: Detective - Being the Account of Some Adventures in the Professional Experience of a Member of the Imperial Austrian Police." The body of a well-dressed man is found in a vacant lot early one morning. With very few clues and no witnesses, it is up to Muller to sort out the true reason for the crime and identify the murderer. - Summary by J. M. Smallheer (3 hr 47 min)

A short novel which had me in tears with the humanity and kindness of the main character, could guess who the killer was in the second half, but the suspense was kept up thru out, would highly recommend this!
