A gleefully absurd parody of detective fiction that prioritizes anarchic comedy and genre subversion over coherence or genuine mystery.

Lionel Twain invites the world's five greatest detectives to a 'dinner and murder'. Included are a blind butler, a deaf-mute maid, screams, spinning rooms, secret passages, false identities and more plot turns and twists than are decently allowed.
