"Happy day... Happy years... Happy holidays... I can finally rest! The school year had finally come to an end, and with it came the promise of two glorious months of freedom. A group of friends, exhilarated by the prospect of endless possibilities, began eagerly making plans. They dreamed of adventures and escapades, of doing anything and everything their hearts desired. Beaches, road trips, late-night hangouts, and spontaneous outings-nothing was off the table. The excitement was palpable, and their imaginations ran wild with all the fun that lay ahead. But life, as it often does, had other plans. Just as their excitement reached a fever pitch, strange and unsettling things began to occur. It started small, with a creeping sense of unease that none of them could quite put their finger on. Odd occurrences and eerie coincidences began to shadow their every move. They found themselves looking over their shoulders, feeling watched, as if unseen eyes followed them wherever they went. Then, the news broke. It was the kind of news that sends shockwaves through a community, the kind that changes everything in an instant. There had been a murder, a gruesome and inexplicable crime that left everyone on edge. The investigation was intense, with police scouring for clues and answers, but the fear lingered. For these friends, the carefree summer they had envisioned seemed to slip further out of reach with each passing day.

|<>| "You and I are used to dealing with mysteries that live on the page." "There are no bad guys. There are just complicated people who did bad things." "I've got enough crime fact in my life. I don't need to read about it." |<>| When crime fiction and MONK nut Alex Walker stumbles upon a missing persons case on her college campus, she is determined to prove to the police department in her small hometown of Brenker, Washington that her discoveries are legitimate. She will do whatever it takes to persuade them, including finding the victim she knows is in danger. Enter Tyler Burns - the mysterious new detective intern with no knowledge of the world that Alex and her companions live in - the world of fictional mystery. He is tall dark and handsome, but with that order comes a side of stubborn, doubtful, and inquisitive. When their worlds collide, the two are forced together to find their vanished victim, but who knows how complicated that will get. But the real question is not whether the victim is found, nor how Alex and Tyler will manage to find them without getting killed - or killing each other. The real question, the only one that matters, the one that has fueled crime fiction - one of the most successful genres in history - is really quite simple. Whodunnit? |<>|
