Gull's Rest, a guesthouse on a small island, cut off by a two-day storm. This morning its owner, Edmund Vale, was found dead in his study. The doctor staying in the house says he was poisoned through his evening cocoa. The police can't land until the ferry runs at dawn. You are a guest, and the others have asked you to look into it. Four people were in the house: Edmund's niece Marion Vale, the housekeeper Mrs. Agnes Hale, the visiting doctor Felix Orme, and a birdwatcher, Tobias Crane.
