The Akkra case $aUnited States :$bZiff-Davis Publishing Company, $c1961. Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Akkra Case" by Miriam Allen De Ford is a crime fiction story set in a futuristic society, likely crafted in the early 1960s. This narrative revolves around a significant murder mystery that takes place in a highly regulated and technologically advanced world where murder is a rarity due to social reforms and law enforcement being managed by a federal body, known as Fedpol. The book explores themes of youth, societal norms, and the clash between modernity and the remnants of past behaviors, particularly through the lens of a crime that disrupts a seemingly utopian society. The plot follows the tragic murder of Madolin Akkra, an 18-year-old girl discovered deceased in a secluded area of Central Park. As the investigation unfolds under the purview of Inspector Dugal Kazazian, it becomes apparent that Madolin was involved with an anti-modernist group known as the Naturists, which raises suspicions about her family's background and their values. The true turn comes from Madolin's young sister, Margret, who embarks on her own investigation, determined to uncover the truth behind her sister's death. As the story progresses, Margret's resourcefulness leads to the eventual discovery of the accidental nature of Madolin's demise at the hands of two boys involved in a prank gone wrong. Through this narrative, the story reveals deeper societal critiques while also celebrating the inquisitive nature and resilience of youth in the face of tragedy.
