Sinossi
Gorston Hall, Longdale, campagna inglese. Anni trenta. Natale. Le famiglie accantonano i contrasti e si riuniscono per festeggiare, a volte solo con lo scopo di mascherare odi e rivalità feroci. E infatti la riunione familiare voluta dal vecchio e tirannico Simeon Lee, che ha chiamato attorno a sé figli e nipoti, si trasforma in dramma. Il vecchio patriarca viene misteriosamente ucciso in una stanza chiusa dall'interno. L'assassino è un membro della famiglia? Tutti sono sospettabili, tutti hanno un motivo per volere la sua morte. Prefazione e postfazione di Marco Polillo.
