First a guest arrives with a dangerously lethal dagger & then, when the gong sounds to announce the start of the game, the victim plays dead in a very convincing manner. Chief Detective Inspector Alleyn believes the unusual dagger is a vital clue to the real-life murder, & soon he's on the trail of a Russian secret society.
