A honeymoon becomes a murder investigation at an isolated mountain lodge

Will Trent and Sara Linton arrive at McAlpine Lodge to celebrate their honeymoon, but the death of the lodge’s manager turns their stay into an investigation. A storm washes out the property’s only access road, narrowing the possible suspects to the family and guests stranded on the mountain. As the investigators examine conflicting accounts and long-held secrets, the mystery connects a present-day killing with a web of deception reaching back decades. The secluded setting and limited circle of suspects give the story a contained crime-thriller framework, while the investigation centers on what the people at the lodge are hiding.

The instant NYT bestseller featuring Will Trent and Sara Linton from Karin Slaughter, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Pretty Girls and After that Night!

 

One toxic family. Eight suspicious guests. Everyone is guilty...But who is a killer?

For GBI investigator Will Trent and medical examiner Sara Linton, McAlpine Lodge seems like the ideal getaway to celebrate their honeymoon. Set on a gorgeous, off-the-grid mountaintop property, it's the perfect place to unplug and reconnect. Until a bone-chilling scream cuts through the night.

A murderer in their midst

Mercy McAlpine, the manager of the Lodge, is dead. With a vicious storm raging and the one access road to the property washed out, the murderer must be someone on the mountain. But as Will and Sara investigate the McAlpine family and the other guests, they realize that everyone here is lying....Lying about their past. Lying to their family. Lying to themselves.

Who killed Mercy McAlpine?

It soon becomes clear that normal rules don't apply at McAlpine Lodge, and Will and Sara are going to have to watch their step at every turn. Trapped on the resort, they must untangle a decades-old web of secrets to discover what happened to Mercy. And with the killer poised to strike again, the trip of a lifetime becomes a race against the clock...
