"It is baffling, Comish. Luckily, for us, famed Earthman Lawrence Gordon is on Pluto for our Annual Interplanetary Golf and Squash Tournaments, and I've taken the liberty of calling to request his assistance in this matter. I'm sure he could not turn down investigating a 'locked room' murder--and will respond immediately. We should see this case solved within a matter of hours!"
Chief High Police Commissioner Or-SnIG Ke'puck of Pluto glared at his Prime Investigator. "How could Senator Potentate Klg-matg'n have been murdered in his quarters which were time-locked from inside and only he knew the combination?"

Love it, Bobby! and does 'famed Earthman Lawrence Gordon' also take on hairy and scary editorial challenges? Or is that his notable cousin, Gordon, er... Lawrence, or some such similar name?

Thanks for the comment, Fliss. The "famed Lawrence Gordon" in my tale is purely fictional; I do, however, admit my inspiration for the story came from our own Editor, Gordon Lawrie, who has himself penned several delightful Plutonian stories.
