From bestselling author Karin Slaughter—the acclaimed thriller writer behind “Pretty Girls” and “After That Night”—comes another gripping New York Times bestseller featuring beloved characters Will Trent and Sara Linton.

GBI investigator Will Trent and medical examiner Sara Linton are eager to unwind and celebrate their honeymoon in the serenity of McAlpine Lodge. Nestled on an isolated mountaintop, this remote, stunningly beautiful lodge promises the perfect escape from everyday life—until a chilling scream disrupts their peaceful night.

Mercy McAlpine, the lodge’s manager, has been murdered. Now isolated by a relentless storm and with the only road out completely destroyed, Will and Sara must accept a terrifying truth: the killer is among them.

As they delve deeper, examining the troubled McAlpine family and their suspicious guests, Sara and Will soon discover layers of deception: secrets hidden between relatives, lies about troubled pasts, and a haunting atmosphere of betrayal.

Who took Mercy McAlpine’s life? With danger mounting and the killer still at large, Will and Sara race against time, carefully navigating decades of tangled secrets before the murderer can strike again.

At the McAlpine Lodge, nothing is as it seems, and staying alive means questioning everything—and everyone.
