Set during a snowy week in a rural English house, a local woman is found dead on the grounds - decapitated. It seems to follow a pattern set the year before when the headless body of another young woman was found.
There are six people staying in the house who become suspects - the squire and his guests. But the crime seems impossible - then another woman is killed...also beheaded.
A tense, claustrophobic tale where to suspect ones friends is impossible - yet what other explanation could there be?
