“De tror, jeg er skyldig,” sagde Leonard Vole med lavm?lt stemme. “Men jeg sv?rger ved gud at det er jeg ikke! Det ser sort ud for mig, det er jeg klar over. Jeg er som en mand fanget i et net – jeg vikles mere og mere ind i dets tr?de, lige meget hvad jeg g?r. Men det var ikke mig, mr. Mayherne, det var ikke mig!”

En ?ldre kvinde er blevet myrdet – og alting peger p? den unge husven Leonard Vole, som, ud over at v?re i ?konomiske vanskeligheder, af sin egen samleverske udr?bes som den selvf?lgelige morder. Sagf?rer Mayherne pr?ver at holde hatten p? hovedet i et avanceret opsat spil, hvor det fyger med anklager og mystiske breve, og ingen tilsyneladende kan stole p? nogen.

“The Witness for the Prosecution” er en af Christies mest kendte noveller og publiceredes f?rste gang i 1925 med titeln “Traitor’s Hands” i Flynn’s Weekly. Derefter i novellesamlingen The Hound of Death i 1933. Her udkommer novellen i nyovers?ttelse af Annette David.
