Murder at 11:59
Twenty years ago, a fire tore through Blackwood Manor, leaving behind a dead woman, a shattered family, and a truth powerful people were willing to kill to protect. Now, on the final night of the year, Alexander Blackwood - the wealthy, secretive master of the manor has invited a handful of people to his home. Each guest carries a connection to the past. Each has something to hide. And each has a reason to fear what Alexander intends to reveal before midnight. But the confession never comes. Before the clock can strike twelve, Alexander is found dead in his study. The clocks have stopped at 11:59, a note hints at a murder committed twenty years earlier, and the people gathered inside the manor begin turning against one another. Detective Thomas Reed soon discovers that the house is filled with more than suspicious guests. Behind its locked doors lie stolen identities, buried family secrets, falsified records, and betrayals that have endured for two decades. As the investigation deepens, the line between victim and villain begins to blur. The dead have been misremembered. The living has been lying. And the truth may be far more terrible than anyone imagined. Because at Blackwood Manor, the most dangerous secrets are not the ones people keep. They are the ones they are willing to kill for. Welcome to Blackwood Manor. The clock is ticking. And midnight is closer than you think.
