✦ Synopsis

Guests at a New Orleans party face a mysterious and deadly host in the widely suspected inspiration for Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None.
When eight guests arrive for a party at a luxurious New Orleans penthouse, their unknown host is nowhere to be found. Then, speaking to them through radio broadcast, he informs them of the evening's chilling theme: every hour, one of them will die.
As the host's prophecy comes horribly true, the dwindling band of survivors grows desperate to escape their fate. To discover their tormentor's identity, they must each reveal their darkest secrets and find the common thread—but confessions may not be enough when they realize that one of them may be the killer.
First published in 1930, this classic mystery was adapted into the Hollywood film, The Ninth Guest. It bears a striking resemblance to Agatha Christie's bestseller And Then There Were None—which appeared nearly a decade later.
