The twisty locked-room mystery from two-time Mary Higgins Clark
Award-winning author Carol Goodman, about a group of former classmates
trapped on their college campus--with a murderer among them.
It's been twenty-five years since the shocking disappearance of a female
student and the distinguished Creative Writing professor who died while
searching for her. The Briarwood College community has never forgotten
the double tragedy. Now, the college President is bringing together
faculty, donors, and alumni to honor the victims from all those years
ago.
On a cold December weekend after the fall semester has ended, guests
gather on the vacant campus for the commemoratory event. But as a storm
descends, people begin to depart, leaving a group of alumni who were the
last ones taught by the esteemed professor. Recriminations and old
rivalries flare as they recall the writing projects they shared as
classmates, including chilling horror stories they each wrote about
their greatest fears.
When an alumna dies in a shockingly similar way to the story she wrote,
and then another succumbs to a similar fate, they realize someone has
decided at long last to avenge the crimes of the past. Will the secret
of what they did twenty-five years ago be revealed? Will any of them be
alive at the end of the weekend to find out?
