Some rooms are deadlier when locked.

A remote manor house. A retired detective with enemies. A murderer who couldn't possibly have committed the crime.

Private investigator Vera Blackwood specializes in solving impossible crimes. When her former mentor invites her to his retirement gathering at isolated Thornfield Manor, she arrives to find a houseful of guests with motives for murderand a complex web of long-buried secrets about to unravel.

Detective Inspector James Holloway has received death threats referencing his most controversial cases. Now he's gathered everyone connected to those investigations for one final weekend. But someone is determined to ensure Holloway never leaves Thornfield alive.

When Holloway is found stabbed to death in a locked room with no signs of forced entry, Vera must determine which of the guests had both the motive and means to commit the impossible crime:

• An ambitious protégé whose career depends on buried truths
• A haunted doctor harboring a decades-old guilt
• Holloway's daughter and her fiancé, each hiding their own secrets
• A wealthy host with ulterior motives

As a violent storm cuts off all communication with the outside world, Vera races to unravel decades of secrets before the killer strikes again. But in this house of deception, nothing is as it seemsnot even murder itself.
