Rain hammered against Blackthorn Manor. Inside, thirteen guests awaited dinner. Only twelve would survive dessert. At midnight, the screaming started. Detective Mara Voss stopped counting. The staircase smelled of roses. Beneath them lingered something metallic. Lord Blackthorn lay facing upward. Someone had closed his eyes. Nobody had removed the knife. Mara recognized its ivory handle. She owned its matching pair. Behind her, the butler coughed. “Your room is prepared, Detective.” His gloves were perfectly clean. His cuffs were soaking wet. Upstairs, a door slammed shut. Mara glanced toward the sound. Then she noticed the envelope. Her name darkened its front. The handwriting was her own.
