BLACKMAN'S WOOD
Cartnell is getting ready for the pheasant hunt, but is informed that the birds need to be kept away from Blackman's Wood. The beaters won't go in there. A body has been seen hanging from one of the trees, and there is a nasty rumor of murder about the place. Cartnell reluctantly agrees. But of course, this is exactly where the birds end up. And now the situation must be faced.
