Old patriarch, Adam Penhallow, yet ruling his family and his Cornish roost with an iron hand from his sickbed. The death of menacing old man, on the eve of his birthday, seems at first to be by natural causes. But tyrannical Penhallow had ruled with a sharp tongue, playing one relative against another and giving both servants and kin cause to hate him for his cruel and vicious nature.
It soon transpires that Penhallow was murdered, poisoned, there are more than a dozen prime suspects. His entire family had assembled for his birthday celebration, and every one of them had the ways and means to commit the crime. As accusation and suspicion turn in one direction, then another, the claws and backstabbing come out, and no one is exempt from the coming implosion.
