Seven witnesses saw June kill him. Then the body vanished. Two shots, a dead man in a locked room, and a timeline that cannot be true. If June isn't the killer, who designed the perfect lie? Solve it.
Seven witnesses saw June Halden pull the trigger. Three shots split the air. Lucien Wren fell. Then, when the lights came back, the body was gone.
It should be the easiest murder Bellweather House has ever seen.
Except June fired only two blanks.
Hours later, a dead man checks into a locked room. A photograph appears to have been taken tomorrow. A guest exists in the records but nowhere in the house. Every clock agrees on a time that cannot be true. And the deeper June digs, the more the night begins to fracture into two versions of the same crime.
Someone has built a murder from pieces that are individually true.
A witness saw the killer. A camera recorded the death. A locked door proves no one entered. A body proves someone died.
So why does none of it fit?
Trapped inside a storm-lashed mansion with people who all have reasons to lie, June must untangle staged evidence, false identities, missing minutes, and a murder that may have happened before anyone realized there was a victim.
Every clue matters. Every statement hides something. And one detail, visible almost from the beginning, changes the meaning of everything.
If June is not the killer, then someone went to extraordinary lengths to make sure everyone believed she was.
The evidence is in front of you.
Can you solve the puzzle before June discovers what the night was really designed to hide?
But be careful: the most convincing clue may be the one the killer needs you to trust, and the obvious victim isn't.
