Rain worried the windows of Blackthorn Hall while Inspector Vale counted thirteen guests reflected in the dining room mirrors tonight. At midnight, the grandfather clock stopped, and Lady Marrow screamed from the library with astonishing theatrical precision for everyone.

Then the lights returned, revealing a silver chess knight clutched tightly in the dead man’s left hand. Someone whispered that dinner had hidden sharper knives, and every face suddenly remembered a private reason for silence.
