SUMMARY
From the critically-acclaimed author of The Day
I Died comes a terrifying twist on a locked-room
mystery that will keep readers guessing until the last
page Only in the dark can she find the truth . . . Since her husband died, Eden Wallace's life has diminished
down to a tiny pinprick, like a far-off star in the night
sky. She doesn't work, has given up on her love of
photography, and is so plagued by night terrors that she
can't sleep without the lights on. Everyone, including her
family, has grown weary of her grief. So when she finds
paperwork in her husband's effects indicating that he
reserved a week at a dark sky park, she goes. She's ready to
shed her fear and return to the living, even if it means
facing her paralyzing phobia of the dark. But when she arrives at the park, the guest suite she
thought was a private retreat is teeming with a group of
twenty-somethings, all stuck in the orbit of their old
college friendships. Horrified that her get-away has been
taken over, Eden decides to head home the next day. But then
a scream wakes the house in the middle of the night. One of
the friends has been murdered. Now everyone—including
Eden—is a suspect. Everyone is keeping secrets, but only one is a murderer. As
mishaps continue to befall the group, Eden must make sense
of the chaos and lies to evade a ruthless killer—and she'll
have to do it before dark falls…
