by Ngaio Marsh
Dramatised by Alan Downer
With Nigel Graham as Chief Det Insp Roderick Alleyn, Laurence Payne as Jonathan Royal and Steven Pacey as Aubrey Mandrake

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.
