📘 The immaterial murder case

by Julian Symons

'Most immaterialists are a little mad. If you ever meet one, you should be most careful to keep your fingers crossed.'

And at their social gatherings the very latest fad was 'Immaterialism', and the quest for the perfect immaterial work of art - but what they hadn't expected to find was the perfect immaterial murder.
