When detective Mara Ellison arrived at dawn, the isolated manor house already stood silent, windows shattered, and doors wide open. Rain had soaked the marble steps, yet fresh footprints led from the front hall toward the darkened library beyond them. Inside, Lord Edmund Blackwood lay motionless beside his old desk, a single silver letter opener buried deeply in his chest. His wife Clara trembled nearby, clutching bloody gloves, whispering that she never heard screams during the long dark stormy night. Mara noticed the window latch untouched, the fire still warm, and three muddy glasses waiting empty upon the polished desk. Somewhere upstairs, a floorboard creaked very softly twice, suggesting the killer might still be hiding silently within this house tonight.
