| When Ed Dockafeller died, he left a will stating that each
of his five children would only receive their share of his billions if
they had married, contributed something significant to the world and moved
to a country town by midnight tonight. In their quest to achieve these
stipulations, a lot has happened. And this morning Ed's son Nathan Dockafeller
(also known as "nasty Nathan") has been murdered.
As they tick away the hours before midnight, the children and their new partners have come together for a family meeting. Now they will find out which of them killed Nathan and which ones
are going to get a share of the money.

| The people present at the gathering at their father’s Arizona
ranch are:
Duncan Dockafeller (brother) I'm a world famous boxer. My name's Duncan and so the media call me "Dunk-Them Dock - A - Fella" because of my mean left hook. Polly Darton (partner of Duncan) I'm a famous country and western singer from Tennessee. I also write a lot of my own songs. My family call me "Jolly Polly" because I'm always grinning. Serina Dockafeller (sister) I teach belly dancing. I learnt it during a trip to Athens years ago. Belly dancing and smashing plates seemed great ways to de-stress. And the belly dancing has the side benefit of toning my tummy. Tommy Whip (partner of Serina) I'm a world-class jockey. I was recently accused of race-fixing but I was proved innocent. Magnus Dockafeller (brother) I'm a scientist. Recently I published evidence proving that I've discovered a cure for skin cancer. Before I started my research, I spent a lot of time cruising around the world on another friend's yacht. I started to think seriously about skin cancer while I was lounging around the deck. Pebbles (partner of Magnus) I'm a comedian. I spend all my time in a Neolithic age. I like telling jokes about rocks, because you can accuse rocks of anything you like. It's politically correct, although a bit crushing for rock emotions. Cynthia Dockafeller (sister) I'm very shy. My therapist described me as a paranoid agoraphobic. Until recently I've spent all my time at home working as a proof reader for a legal publisher. But I have a secret talent. Charles Concerto
(partner of Cynthia) I'm the conductor of the New York
Philharmonic Orchestra. I also have a passion for turtles and I have
twenty of them as pets. I've converted the bath tub into a turtle tank.

| Excerpt

|
| Polly Darton: "Now I grew up in
a large family. There were 12 of us. Five kids to a bed. So I knows what
family feuds can be like. But you all seem such a nice family. Why you
are all so pleasant to one another, I can hardly believe that one of you
murdered your poor older brother Nathan."
