As Karen Holt rounds the bend into the driveway of her country retreat, little does she suspect that her surprise arrival will land her in a world of murder and blackmail as frightening as anything she publishes.

But who has she murdered? Why is husband and writer Howard so insistent on a cover-up? Who is the blackmailer? What have they seen?

As the layers of deceit are peeled away by the seemingly guileless Inspector Davies we are lead through a maze of dead ends and red herrings. The plot will test the mettle of every amateur detective - only the best will guess the ending of this play which combines elements of both murder mystery and thriller.
