For decades, bestselling author J.R. Alastor, king of the murder mystery, has hidden in the shadows. His novels adorn countless bookshelves across the world, but no one knows his real name. One day, event coordinator Mila del Angel gets a message: Alastor wants her help to host a murder mystery retreat on his private island. The guest list? Six crime and thriller writers, all masters of the genre. He plans to give them the thrill of their lives: a week of party games, and maybe a jump-scare or two. It’s the perfect cover for Mila to finally carry out her long-held plans for revenge on one of the authors, a ghost from her past. But when a different guest turns up dead, she finds herself in a lethal game she didn’t plan for. With a storm cutting off the island and the body count rising, Mila has no idea who to trust.
