Before writing his will, millionaire Jacob Taverner decides to invite his many cousins to an eerie old inn called the Catherine Wheel, where he can size them up, and also enjoy his penchant for malicious mischief. When an uninvited cousin shows up at the affair, and one of the Taverner clan is murdered, Miss Silver, in her customary fashion, gets involved. Originally published by Lippincott in 1949.
