The ‘ten little Indians” refers to the cluster of statuettes on the mantelpiece of a country house on an island off the coast of Devon. A ‘nursery rhyme’ is embossed above them – telling how each little Indian met his death. Eight assorted guest are invited for a weekend by a mysterious host. The guests have never met their host. Even the cook, the butler and the boatman have not met their employer. While the guests are assembling for dinner, a voice comes out of the air, accusing everyone present of murder – not the sort of murder on which a conviction can be got in the courts – but a murder just the same. Soon one of the guests chokes to death on cyanide. One down and nine to go.
