Rain tapped against Blackwood Manor. Detective Vale arrived before midnight. Every window glowed with candlelight. Inside, someone had stopped breathing. The parlor clock announced twelve chimes. Lady Ashcombe lay beneath portraits. Crimson silk concealed a silver dagger. Her fingers clutched a torn photograph. The doors were locked from inside. No footprints crossed the polished floor. Vale studied every frightened face. Four guests avoided his steady gaze. A fifth guest was missing entirely. Then the fireplace whispered someone's name. The candles suddenly flickered and died.
