The ancient clock in the dark hallway struck midnight just as the fierce storm outside at last began to rage. Cold rain lashed the tall windows of Ravenwood Manor while the nervous guests gathered quietly in the dim library downstairs. A single candle burned low beside the empty velvet chair near the grand cold marble fireplace at the far end. Mr. Alistair Vance, the wealthy, secretive, and mysterious host, had promised an important announcement before the very long evening ended. No one in the crowded room noticed when he quietly slipped away from the lively conversation and then disappeared upstairs. That was the very last time anyone would later claim to have seen Alistair Vance alive and still breathing well. A sudden piercing scream shattered the quiet old house and sent every terrified guest rushing immediately toward the grand staircase. They found him lying facedown on the expensive Persian rug with a cold bloodstained silver letter opener still beside him. The heavy oak door to the study was locked from the inside, and all the tall windows were sealed tight. Outside, the fierce storm raged on as Detective Eleanor Gray stepped into the dark room for the very first time.
