A deadly feud over a priceless heirloom has thrown the  Alber family into chaos while its walls play host to an unusual cast of  characters–the obstinate Lord Alber, his strange and beleaguered  children, their cantankerous butler, and of course, their mysterious new  guest, \"Hugo Strahm.\" When one of them is poisoned at dinner, it’s the  first act in a spiraling criminal conspiracy, in which any and all of  them are suspects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWorking with the sharp and  inquisitive Clara, the former crime lord attempts to solve the mystery  whilst trying to keep his true identity concealed.
