Funerals are usually a mourning affair. For the Raven family, however, the death of the bitter patriarch Isaiah is more of a relief - especially in the area of financial problems. The distant old man has amassed a fortune in his lifetime that anyone would kill for, and the only condition for acquiring it is the need to spend the night in a remote mansion high in the Giant Mountains.
So Isaiah's relatives from near and far begin to flock to Rabenštejn Castle, and you can probably imagine how smoothly such a gathering goes. And that's before darkness falls and the first of them inexplicably (and inexplicably bloody) dies. And then another. And more and more.
While everyone tries to save their necks, Isaiah's adopted niece Agatha tries to find out who is behind the murders. Is it one of those present, or does everyone have a satisfactory alibi and there's someone else in the castle with the Ravens... or something?
Ten little black men through the lens of Guillermo del Toro. The nightmares will haunt you long after you finish reading!

Martin Paytok comes from Jilemnice, but lives in Prague. He spent many years writing about computer games and movies for inGamer.cz, XB-1 magazine's website and SCORE magazine. He is currently an editor at Mystery Press. His work, which often combines crime plots with elements of supernatural horror, bears the influence of Donald E. Westlake, Garth Ennis and the Kulhank school of action. You could meet her, for example, in the anthologies Hammer on the Wizard: One step ahead of hell, Monster Hunters: The Phantom or Blood, Monsters and Candy and on the pages of Pevnost magazine. He made his book debut with the frantic butchery of Curse for All, based on the idea of what if Guy Ritchie made a horror film. When he's not writing, he watches Shane Black movies and hunts antique stores for missing volumes of McBain's 87th Revisited.
