From the first days of autumn, when the leaves began to cover with a golden carpet, Arthur Havelock, sitting in his cozy office, thoughtfully looked at the autumn landscape outside the window. The Livingston Mansion was now behind him, as was the convoluted investigation that was the culmination of his last months. In his hands was a diary full of notes that he had made in the process of working. It was not only a collection of information, but also a chronicle of the detective's inner journey.
Havelock rethought every event, every meeting, and every clue. The investigation into the murder of Lord Livingston revealed to him many new facets of human nature — from dark aspirations to bright moments of redemption. He reflected on how this case had changed his perception of the world and the people around him. The letters and notes he studied not only helped solve the mystery, but also showed him how difficult it is to be a human being in this difficult world.

Throughout the investigation, Havelock encountered manipulations and intrigues that led him to ask himself questions about his own beliefs and motives. What does justice mean if it itself is often entangled in a web of human weaknesses and desires? What is the role of a detective in the search for the truth, when the whole truth is shrouded in darkness and mystery?
With the completion of the investigation and the restoration of peace in the Livingston mansion, Havelock began to prepare for a new stage in his life. After he gave final testimony in court and confirmed his findings, he felt the need to take a step back and rethink his career and future.
