Bristol, in the south west of England, 1987. A group of outraged citizens has gathered at the home of esteemed barrister Guy Blackthorn, to express its concern about plans for a new development on Bristol waterfront. Peter Ringmellow, the young and thrusting CEO of Rip Ltd has put forward proposals for a large casino and gentlemen’s club on a strip of land next to the floating harbour which is growing in popularity for media and the arts. Guy is hosting the evening and the development will be discussed over dinner, along with a plan to stop proceedings at all costs. All at the dinner have a reason to prevent Ringmellow and his development; someone has already put in place at strategy that will take his life. Which of the guests is guilty of a West Country murder? Can you handle cider, with roguery?
