Description
Four travelers take refuge from a Huron County blizzard in the secluded farmhouse of Gerald Goldie, retired Latin teacher. All four of the strangers have some things in commonÑa working knowledge of Latin, a serious distaste for their host, and a growing animosity for each other. As ominous Latin phrases begin to appear on the walls, it becomes clear that someone has murder in mind. And as the body count rises, our stranded guests are forced to choose between certain death in the blizzardÑor tempting the Fates by remaining in a house of terror.

Editorial Reviews
ÒA zinger of a playÉthe Canadian hinterland, both physical and psychological, is explored in all of its frightening realityÉÓÑLondon Free Press
ÒCiufoÕs writing is tight, bristling with witty, intelligent banterÉyes, this is a mystery, a whodunit and a comedy/drama, but the writing was layered so you really were rewarded if you paid attention to every word of itÉa killer of a script.ÓÑThe Beat: Arts in London
