In this ingeniously layered mystery, bestselling author Alan Conway crafts traditional Agatha Christie–style murder tales, but his editor Susan Ryeland suspects there’s more than meets the eye in his new manuscript. When Susan reads the story of a manor-house murder, she realizes it conceals a secret plot of its own one driven by jealousy and greed. Racing to decipher the hidden messages, Susan finds herself trapped in a real deadly game.
