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 Roake down the main staircase.  He becomes involved in the lives of the 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; and 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 his 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.
