Summary

A graphic artist and true crime buff, Homer Bull is always looking for a good murder for his syndicated comic strip. He just never expects to be invited to one - courtesy of his old pal Hugo Shipley, a wealthy illustrator who's notorious for his practical jokes. But when Shipley himself drops dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, it's no laughing matter. Not that the other guests have a sense of humour. Among them, a dry tobacco magnate, a dull-witted gangster, a libelous newspaper reporter, and Homer's ex-wife, a shallow doll who dumped him for a career in modeling. All but Homer are quick to accept the suicide bunk. Maybe that's because all but Homer have their own sordid secrets and motives. And not one of them is leaving Shipley's isolated estate before Homer finds his friend's killer.
