It
is 1993 in San Francisco,
California. Wealthy widow,
Mrs. Emily Boggs, is gathering
her friends and servants for
a special dinner to celebrate
the miraculous return of her
long-lost daughter, Ashley.
Ashley was kidnapped as an
infant 25 years earlier during
a riot in Hong Kong.
Mrs.
Boggs has a long-standing
custom of serving her dinner
guests special fortune cookies
containing personalised prophecies
for each. Knowing this, the
killer poisons Mrs. Boggs'
cookie with deadly potassium
cyanide and leaves her a fortune
predicting, "Death
will come uninvited".
She dies instantly after eating
the cookie - it is a case
of premeditated murder.
