Intriguing glimpses into a cupboard full of family skeletons, together with detective work, combine in this unusual suspense play, to keep everyone guessing until the very last page. Matthew, still protesting his innocence, returns home from prison, after serving fifteen years for allegedly murdering his mother. Who did kill Mother. It takes an apparent suicide and a good deal of amateur sleuthing before the truth is revealed and the lady can be taken away.
