Aslan Kennedy has an idyllic life as leader of a spiritual retreat for wealthy holidaymakers on the Caribbean island of Saint-Marie. Until he's murdered, that is. The case seems open and shut: when Aslan was killed, he was inside a locked room with only five other people, one of whom has already confessed to the crime. Detective Inspector Richard Poole is fed up with talking to witnesses who'd rather discuss his "aura" than their whereabouts at the time of the murder.
