Adrian Gray was born in May 1862 and met his death through violence,at the hands of one of his own children,at Christmas,1931.
Thus begins a classic crime novel published in 1933,a riveting portrait of the psychology of a murderer.
Each December,Adrian Gray invites his extended family to stay at his lonely house,Kings Poplars. None of Gray's six surviving children is fond of him; several have cause to wish him dead. The family gathers on Christmas Eve - and by the following morning,their wish has been granted.
This fascinating and unusual novel tells the story of what happened that dark Christmas night; and what the murderer did next.
'Powerful and impressive ...there is a fine inevitability in the plot structure which gives it true tragic quality'- Dorothy L. Sayers
