Seven invited tourists and their tour-guide driver are storm-isolated at Queensford Castle, Cock Robin Island, California. In the grand tradition of Agatha Christies And Then There Were None, all seven die, one by one. Who killed them their Native American driver? Their host? The butler? The answer is much more complicated than Christie's, involving the characters' past lives and a centuries-old prophecy heralding divine retribution.
