Seventy-two hours. Six suspects. One story worth killing for …

Six writers have been summoned to the remote Scottish home of iconic author Arthur Fletch to compete for the chance of a lifetime. Their challenge? Write the perfect ending to Fletch’s final unfinished manuscript and claim a fortune in cash and the chance to resurrect their careers. But this is a house built on lies, and every guest has something to hide.

When one of the writers is found dead, the line between fiction and murder vanishes completely. As the clock ticks down and suspicion spreads, the remaining guests are forced into a deadly game of cat and mouse. Every corridor contains a secret. Every clue points in a different direction. And every writer knows exactly how to play the game.

Because they all have a motive.

They all know how a murder mystery works.

And this killer knows every trick in the book …
