Highlights
Synopsis
When eight mystery writers arrive at a legendary writer’s fog-shrouded island mansion in the North Atlantic, they think they’re ready for the Deadline Challenge – twenty-four restful hours to write as much of their new novel as possible.
But the Deadline Challenge is anything but restful.
In reality, the writers are brought together to solve a murder – the victim yet be determined, and the killer yet to strike.
If a writer can design and execute a perfect murder and get away with it, they’ll win a million dollars (which is a lot of money for a writer).
Who will live?
Who will die?
Who will survive the Deadline?
