Dead Man’s Hand

This captivating thriller employs a play within a play theme in a singularly exciting manner. 

At first it seems to be the usual Agatha Christie-type play — two couples lured to a remote Italian villa to be murdered one by one.

It is only when this play is well advanced that we learn we are watching actors rehearsing their own murder mystery.

An intriguing final twist unravels the real reason for the whole charade.
