The antique clock in the hallway struck thirteen times as Detective Mara Voss stepped through the front door of Blackwood Manor. Rain lashed against the tall Gothic windows while thunder shook the ancient stone walls of the sprawling estate. Lord Pemberton's body lay sprawled across the Persian rug with a silver letter opener protruding from his chest. Three guests stood frozen in the doorway, their faces pale with shock and something far more sinister hidden. The butler, Jenkins, clutched a silver tray and whispered that no one had left the house since dinner. A single red rose lay beside the corpse, its petals already wilting in the stagnant air of the room. Mara noticed muddy footprints leading from the body toward the library but none returning to any other part of the house. The storm outside raged louder now, as if nature itself conspired to keep the killer trapped within these walls.
