 Once famous mystery writers involve the audience as they apply their
individual methods to solving various murders. They include a couple who
write sophisticated murders, a young author of the James Bond school, a
retired writer of the hard hitting method, and an aging queen of the
logical murder.

JESSICA OLIVE - an extremely attractive and sophisticated woman in her
middle to late thirties. To her, everything is a joke with a reason to
laugh. She and her husband are the epitome of the rich, devil-may-care type
of characters who used to be so prevalent in mystery stories and they play
their characters to the hilt.

WHITNEY OLIVE - a few years older than Jessica, he matches her in wit and
sophistication. Always the perfect gentleman, he might well have walked out
of the pages of Esquire.

MILDRED Z. MAXWELL - a large woman, folksy in a way, but a very determined
and opinionated. She often has a sharp way of speaking, although she is a
friendly soul. In her late fifties or early sixties.

BRAD BENEDICT - he is much younger than the others, and, consequently more
mod in his dress, but by no means "hippie." Actually, he is a very shy and
retiring person, quite the opposite from the characters he writes. He has a
quiet sense of humor which manifests itself in a small grin when he has
been amusing, but usually he takes a back seat and admires the others.

RODNEY DUCKTON - the oldest of the five authors, but he is extremely vital
and constantly interested in everything that goes on. There develops a
small rivalry between him and Mildred and a small generation gap noticeable
between him and Brad. He is dressed impeccably in a suit and is always full
of boundless energy and enthusiasm.

JASON SUMMERS - a man in his thirties, efficient-looking right down to his
horn-rimmed glasses which he occasionally removes to emphasize a point. He
wears a neat, Madison Avenue suit. He is enthusiastic about the project
before him but terrified it will go wrong and he will lose his job; hence
he has a nervous air about him, plus an always-eager-to-please everybody
attitude that makes him seem on the verge of collapse.

JANE - she is an eager, young, and pretty maid but one suspects, for a
time, that her naivete is not all pure.

GREGORY - he somehow looks remarkably like a Dracula character with his
dark, penetrating eyes and deep widow's peak hairline. When he speaks, it
is in a deep, Middle-European accent.
