Cast: 4 male, 4 female.
Set: Single interior. Library of a country manor house, 1940.
The third of the ''Inspector Pratt' trilogy. (Can be performed as a 'stand-alone')
Pratt is back! Inspector Pratt's record of crime detection at Bagshot House is not enviable. In his two previous visits, the body count mounted disasterously as he looked on, helpless and hopeless! Now he is back and, as usual, chaos reigns supreme. During the course of his latest investigations, Pratt meets the new owner of the house, Nancy Allwright, and soon he is embroiled in more mystery, aided and abetted by Miss Maple and Constable Thomkins. Upper-crust Ginny and Italian gigolo, Enzo, help with enquiries, but danger soon looms with an unexpected arrival and a frightening suggestion by Welsh busybody and clairvoyant, Blodwyn Morgan.
