The rain fell hard against the windows of Blackwood Manor that evening. Inspector Kate Morland arrived just after midnight, her coat soaked completely through. The butler met her at the door with a pale, trembling face. He said nothing at first, merely gesturing toward the library stairs. The body lay sprawled across the oriental rug near the fireplace. Lord Blackwood's eyes remained open, frozen in an expression of pure shock. A silver letter opener protruded from his chest at an odd angle. His famous collection of rare coins sat undisturbed on the shelf. Something about the scene troubled Kate deeply from the very start. The window was locked from inside, and the door had been bolted. Yet someone had entered this room and killed a powerful man. Kate knelt beside the body and noticed a torn piece fabric. It was deep blue silk, expensive, caught beneath the victim's fingers. Outside, thunder rolled across the estate grounds like distant, angry drums. Six guests remained in the manor, each with secrets worth hiding. Kate stood slowly, watching the candlelight flicker across the dark walls. One of them was a murderer, and she would find them.
