You are a guest at Ravenswood Hall when a fellow diner, Mr. Ainsley, excuses himself between courses and simply never returns. The doors were watched, the windows are barred, and the host wants the matter settled quietly — before dessert. Examine the place setting, press the trembling butler, find the hidden passage, draw out the grieving widow and the nervous heir, and read the debts in his papers. Gather enough clues to name the truth — but waste too many courses, or accuse the wrong soul, and the night ends badly. Ten outcomes wait, from a clean solution to public disgrace.
