- New writer, he needs a bit of guidance.
- It wouldn't have anything to do with Atticus Pünd would it?
A continuation novel.
So who's gonna write it?
- [Boss] Eliot Crace.
His grandmother was the most successful writer this country's ever seen.
- Eliot already had his heart set on becoming a writer.
- This isn't very good.
(dramatic music) - Whatever you may have heard about her, Miriam Crace was a monster.
- It was torture living there.
We were trapped at Marble Hall.
- We all know what has to be done to grandma, but we must never, ever tell.
- [Susan] Miriam Crace died a natural death.
(Miriam gasping) - What gave you that idea?
- Alan Conway played games.
He put people into his books, people that he knew.
It was those games that got him killed, Eliot.
Are you doing the same?
- Pünd's last case, set in Corfu.
- Mr.
Pünd.
I overheard something that shocked me to the core.
- I am conducting an official murder investigation.
A study of poisons.
- Why would anyone want to kill her?
- You can be sure that we will find the answer.
- The hell with you, Mr.
Pünd.
- Susan Ryeland, believe me, she's trouble.
- Read Eliot's book.
That's where you'll find the answer.
- You search for a monster.
- But the danger is you can become one yourself.
(tense music)
