Description:

Murder in the Marsh. A bird-watchers club meets at a pristine and private marsh. Conrad Hatcher, owner of the land, is also the club president. He is self-centred, arrogant and controlling. Resentment for the treatment of club members has built to the point of breaking. At an early morning photo shoot all cameras are focused on the target. It's part of the twisted plot that eliminated the president for good.  Who did it and how?
