Will someone PUH-LEEZE explain the to me the "fool-proof" scheme in the story "The Suicide Circle"? So the crooks sell insurance policies to victims' relatives, and the buyers murder their kinfolk (making it look like suicide) to get big payouts? How many ordinary people could they find who'd be willing to murder anybody, much less a relative? How many of them were capable of staging a believable suicide? Above all, how did the crooks benefit from the scheme? They got the policy premiums but it was the murderous relatives who raked in the big dough. And what did the whole erasing-fingerprints business have to do with the insurance scheme? Did the crooks offer to have their marks' prints erased before they dispatched their loved ones? I'm confused.
