A MYSTERY YOU MUST SOLVE - OR FACE THE CONSEQUENCES...

You have been invited to a very special murder mystery party.
Thirteen guests have been gathered - rather, thirteen suspects.

Be careful. Trust no one. In this story, all may not be as it seems.

A word of warning, though - catch the killer, or face the consequences...

This is a magnificently constructed book. Miss it at your peril! Miss it, in fact, at the peril of ALL the archetypes you carry within...
