Fifteen suspects. One body. No alibis.
Fernwood Heights: an elite public school nestled in a quiet, historic town of Shadow Creek, whose picturesque streets hide dark secrets. Everything changed on September 22nd 2006, when Charlotte Blackwell was murdered in the middle of the school day. The town’s queen bee, social manipulator, that everyone loved. Or pretended to.
Fifteen students, each with their own reason to leave school, each with relation to the victim, each with something to hide. Strangers in social circles now bound by a lack in alibi and various possible motives, now entangled in the investigation of this midday murder - where lies unravel and trust is tested.
In a small town consumed by image, the truth is the most dangerous thing of all - and one of them knows it. And every suspect will be accused, interrogated, and tested, by not only professional investigators but by each other. Friendships will fracture, reputations destroyed, and secrets resurfaced.
While others search for answers, one amongst them will do whatever it takes to keep them buried. Because at Shadow Creek, everybody has something to lose.
