Synopsis

An aristocratic recluse is forced to have an unwanted group of relatives and "guests" at her gloomy hunting lodge.

All are concerned with the will of her recently murdered husband who left years ago vowing never to return.

All remember a terrifying death that occurred where the mausoleum now stands.

The detective has a riddle written by the dead man urging him to solve it.

Then violent, bizarre murders begin to occur.

The riddle is mercifully solved in a spine-tingling climax forcing the lodge to give up its darkest secrets.
