Para- dos, man of wealth, seems de- spised by every member of his household. Hunt becomes enam- ored of Caroline Brent, whom he finds taking one of Parados’ pictures. Anatole Flique, chief detective of the Paris Surete, a Caroline to dinner that night. Parados has announced he won't be there. Flique pro- poses the guests play a game called “murder.” It is suggested that Parados be the person supposed to have been murder- ed.

A sharp intake of breath on my left caused me to look at Celia. Her lips were pressed tightly together. “You'd better have it attended to,” Mrs. Parados said. “Was it you who shot Mr. Parados?” “Are you making game of me, ma'am?” Granger asked.
