An adaptation of Ngaio Marsh's whodunnit, featuring detective Roderick Alleyn.
Jonathan Royal is a man rich enough to indulge his somewhat extravagant sense of the theatrical. But when he hits on the bizarre idea of throwing a weekend party with guests who have good reasons to loathe one another, his malicious comedy quickly turns to tragedy.
Dramatised by Alan Downer
