Detective Sergeant Kat Ballantyne just wanted a quiet weekend at a crime-writing festival. What she got instead was a locked-room murder and a very public corpse.
The victim? A bestselling crime novelist with a talent for making enemies.
What looks like natural causes to most sets off Kat’s internal alarm. Something’s wrong—too tidy, too convenient. As she digs deeper, she uncovers cutthroat rivalries, secret affairs, and literary grudges stacked high as the to-be-read pile.
Every suspect has a motive. Every alibi has a crack.

Kat’s instincts tell her she’s close. But the truth? That’s another story entirely.
