The stories explore various themes driven by intrigue, human emotions, and unexpected occurrences, with the titular tale "A Capillary Crime" centering on the mysterious murder of an artist in Paris and the investigation that follows. At the start of "A Capillary Crime," the narrative unfolds in a quiet street in Montmartre, Paris, which reflects a juxtaposition of the bustling city life nearby.
