En una habitación cerrada a cal y canto se comete un crimen: los que están fuera oyen gritos, tiros, muebles volcados, pero, cuando derriban la puerta, en el cuarto está la víctima, pero no el asesino. Este problema inicial se complica mas aun con otros dos posteriores: ¿Como ha podido el asesino disolverse literalmente entre las manos de sus perseguidores? ¿Como es que el asesino, despues de ser abatido a tiros, aparece muerto de una cuchillada, y al final resulta no ser el asesino? El joven Rouletabille, tomando su razon por el lado bueno, con logica inatacable, consigue descifrar tan apasionantes enigmas en esta obra clave del problema del recinto cerrado.
