About This Book

Three celebrated but very different men unexpectedly meet at a London station and agree to travel together to a remote Cornish estate for a Christmas house party hosted by a society-savvy couple. Their contrasting temperaments and professional convictions—scientific skepticism, scholarly pedantry, and administrative reserve—frame a social comedy that deepens into an uncanny episode during the secluded holiday gathering, prompting each guest to reconsider assumptions about evidence, tradition, and human connection.
