Yesterday marked the tenth anniversary of the signing of the armistice that ended the War to end all Wars. The European economy is today, though, in another war – one of survival. It is in shambles, and many factions struggle for power with promises of better times to come. Last night, however, at a secluded spot in Florida known as Sandy Ring Island, a celebration had occurred. For comrades in arms, wounded in the service of their nations during that Great War, toasted their reunion.
All three had been sent to the same French military hospital to recuperate. There, they had become staunch friends. When the peace treaty was signed, they vowed to be together again a decade after the end of the conflict. At a rustic lodge on the Gulf of Mexico called Sea Breeze they had kept their word.
But, this morning, a pall was thrown over last night’s festivities, for a body was discovered face down on the beach behind Sea Breeze. It was the Russian writer, Gregor Manov, another guest at the inn. His skull had been crushed with a large piece of driftwood. Judging from the footprints left in the sand, the deed had been perpetrated from behind while Manov was returning to the lodge from a late night walk.
The owner of Sea Breeze was a middle-aged woman of Ukrainian origin. The maid spoke little of her background, but appeared by manner and breeding to be an American. These seven were declared to be the prime suspects. Only through careful questioning and precise logic would motive and murderer emerge.
One of these suspects is a murderer . . .
Marta Rinebergs
The resort owner. She returned from Europe to run Sea Breeze after the death of her father. Her activities while overseas have never been fully revealed.
Grace Medford
The maid at Sea Breeze. She was recently hired by Marta Rinebergs as a domestic. She lives in a small house that is remote from the main building.
Andris Varga
A mysterious guest who claims Polish ancestry. He keeps to himself and associates very little with the other guests.
Woody Hartland
A captain in the United States Army. He was an aviator in the World War and is at Sea Breeze to be reunited with his comrades.
Colonel Sir Reginald Price Carlisle
A British intelligence officer. He is currently stationed in Alabama on “special assignment.” He arranged the reunion.
Henri van Ghant
A Belgian businessman. He was an officer during the War and has since become wealthy through investments in various ventures.
Mimi LaFleur
A French woman who seemed to know the comrades. She speaks little of her background and profession. Her flamboyance seems out of place in the rustic surroundings.
