A short story from the casebook of Atticus Priest.
A locked door. A tragic death. A family torn apart.
When Alice Carmichael is found dead in her Winchester home, the circumstances are as mysterious as they are tragic. The door was locked from the inside, and, with family tensions already running high, suspicion quickly falls on her estranged brother, Richard, a man with a troubled past and no shortage of enemies.
Asked to uncover the truth, private investigator Atticus Priest soon discovers that nothing about Alice's death is as simple as it seems. As he digs deeper, secrets surface, lies unravel, and a chilling pattern emerges. Someone is hiding something—and they'll do whatever it takes to keep it buried.
Gripping, clever, and full of twists, this locked-room mystery will keep you guessing until the final page.
