Synopsis

In a cozy English country house owned by a famous mystery writer, a young guest walks in and they begin a convivial round of scotch and dialogue. Suddenly the host says, I understand you want to marry my wife, and from that moment the two are locked in a mortal encounter. The games that are devised, the murders plotted, and subverted, add up to increasing suspense and unsolvable crime.
