Murder Once Removed
Published by Dramatists Play Service
5 Male 2 Female
Manning has engaged a private detective to investigate Cato's past, and the evidence gathered is so damning (although Cato tries at first to discount it) that the doctor's only course is to murder his patient
His clever and coolly executed plan of action shifts suspicion to another patient, and suspense builds as it appears that the good doctor may have committed the perfect crime
In the end this proves to be not so, but the method of Cato's undoing - and the surprising twist which follows it - will keep the audience guessing until the final, shocking moments of the play
This gripping, spine-tingling mystery will hold audiences in suspense right up to the final, clever "twist" of its unexpected denouement
