Towards Zero
‘I like a good detective story but they begin in the wrong place! They begin with the murder. But the murder is the end. The story begins long before that – years before sometimes – with all the causes and events that bring certain people to a certain place at a certain time on a certain day. All converging towards a given spot. Zero Hour.’ This is spoken by the elderly family solicitor, Treves.
Of course, Treves, invited to Lady Tressilian’s for supper, is the first to die.
