Although used to dealing in character assassination and verbal backstabbing,
the literary clique gathered at the house party of Mervyn Blake, famous author
and critic, is shocked when their famous host is found dead inhis writing room.

himself to the world of literary hates and jealousies, a far cry from the bush
characters of the inland plains he knows so well. |
