A long, lurid night of covered motives and confused identities.

When the last of the Dromios was found murdered, both his hands had been burnt off. He was one of triplets. Forty years ago both his brothers had also died in a fire.

Tongues of flames repeat their mad message, as Appleby wrenches facts from a night of melodrama, in which the final solution is written in fire.
