A collie named Jericho mopes around, and a stray cat seems to herald new, clearly unnatural deaths.
Gathered at the lodge, Matil\'s guests are shut off from the outside by a November snowstorm.
At his recommendation Matil has engaged Nurse Sarah Keate to care for Aunt Lucy Kingery at Hunting\'s End--not a pleasant assignment, as it turns out.
