Death in the Family

A storm-struck island. A blood-soaked bed. A missing man. In this captivating mystery that’s perfect for fans of Knives Out, Senior Investigator Shana Merchant discovers that murder is a family affair.

Thirteen months ago, former NYPD detective Shana Merchant barely survived being abducted by a serial killer. Now, seeking refuge from the ghosts of her past, she’s taken a job in her fiancé’s sleepy hometown in the Thousand Islands region of Upstate New York. She’s hoping for quiet. She’s hoping for peace.

She won’t find either.

As a nor’easter barrels down on her new territory, Shana and fellow investigator Tim Wellington receive a call about a man missing on a private island. They travel to the isolated estate owned by the wealthy Sinclair family to question witnesses. What they find is blood on the scene and a house full of Sinclair family and friends, each one more on edge than the last.

While Tim suspects a simple runaway case, Shana’s instincts scream murder. As the storm intensifies outside, she begins conducting interviews and discovers the Sinclairs and their guests are crawling with dark and dangerous secrets. Trapped on the island by the raging gale with only the questionable Tim, increasingly restless suspects, and her own trauma-fueled flashbacks for company, Shana must trust the one person her abduction destroyed her faith in: herself.

Time is running out. If Shana’s right, a killer walks among them—and as the pressure mounts, so do the odds they’ll strike again.
