# The Opening Scene Rain fell hard against the old manor's tall windows. Detective Sarah Cole stepped carefully through the creaking door. The butler waited nervously beside the grand staircase. "Something terrible happened here," he whispered with fear. Cole nodded slowly, removing her damp leather gloves. The study smelled faintly of gunpowder and roses. Lord Ashford lay motionless behind his mahogany desk. Blood pooled slowly across the antique Persian rug. Cole scanned the room for any missing clues. A single chess piece rested near his hand. The king had fallen, toppled from its square. Someone had planned this murder with great care. Three guests remained trapped inside the old house. Each one carried secrets worth killing for. Cole straightened her coat and studied their faces. "One of you," she said, "is lying tonight." Thunder cracked outside, rattling the ancient windowpanes. The killer stood among them, calm and silent. Cole's eyes narrowed as she began her work. The night had only just begun to unfold.
