-Synopsis-
One day in September, a group of close friends and family gathered at an aristocratic mansion in the English countryside to spend the holidays.
Trives is a former lawyer, Lloyd is a young man who has just returned from Malaya, and Neville is a handsome sportsman and his wife Kay. Kay’s boyfriend Ted and even Neville’s ex-wife Audrey have gathered at the mansion, creating a very complex human relationship.
Meanwhile, the owner of the mansion, Lady Tresilian, is beaten to death by someone.
Neville’s fingerprints are found on the golf club used as the murder weapon, but it turns out that Neville has no motive to kill her and has an alibi, and the investigation reaches a dead end.
Who on earth is the culprit? And the motive for the murder… The surprising true culprit and his motives are revealed through the discovery of questionable evidence one after another and conflicting testimonies from the characters.
