Lady Sylvia, gather relations and friends for a weekend shooting party. They have invited an eclectic group including a countess, a World War I hero, the British matinee idol Ivor Novello and an
American film producer who makes Charlie Chan movies. As the guests assemble in the gilded drawing rooms above, their personal maids and valets swell the ranks of the house servants in the
teeming kitchens and corridors below-stairs. But all is not as it seems: neither amongst the bejeweled guests lunching and dining at their enormous leisure, nor in the attic bedrooms and stark
work stations where the servants labor for the comfort of their employers. Part comedy of manners and part mystery, the tale portrays events that bridge generations, class, sex, tragic personal
history--and culminate in a murder (or is it two murders...?).
