This psychological drama is a thinking person’s Gothic thriller, a dark comedy that is both funny and frightening.  On a snowy night, Inspector Ruffing is called to a remote house to investigate the headlong plunge of Patrick Roarke down the main staircase.  He becomes involved in the lives of five alluring and dangerous women:

Marcy, the beautiful Viennese governess with a past
Mrs. Ravenscroft, the flirtatious lady of the manor
Gillian, her charming but possibly demented daughter
Mrs. French, the formidable and passionate cook
Dolly, a terrified maid

They lead him through a bewildering labyrinth of contradictory versions of Patrick’s demise and that of the late Mr. Ravenscroft.  There are ghosts on the staircase, skeletons in the closet, and much more than the Inspector bargained for.  His investigation leads into own tortured soul and the nature of truth itself. You will not guess the ending, but you will be teased, seduced, bewildered, amused, frightened and led to a dark encounter with truth or something even stranger.
