Here’s the publisher’s description: The twisty locked-room mystery from two-time Mary Higgins Clark Award\u2013winning author Carol Goodman, about a group of former classmates trapped on their college campus\u2014with a murderer among them.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been twenty-five years since the shocking disappearance of a female student and the distinguished Creative Writing professor who died while searching for her. The Briarwood College community has never forgotten the terrible storm that caused the double tragedy. Now, the college President\u2014who has his own reasons for drawing attention to the notorious incident\u2014is bringing together faculty, donors, and alumni to honor the victims from all those years ago.<\/p>\n

On a cold December weekend after the fall semester has ended, guests gather on the vacant campus for the commemoratory event. But as a winter storm descends, people begin to depart, leaving a group of alumni who were the last ones taught by the esteemed professor. Recriminations and old rivalries flare as they recall the writing projects they shared as classmates, including chilling horror stories they each wrote about their greatest fears.<\/p>\n

When an alumna dies in a shockingly similar way to the story she wrote, and then another succumbs to a similar fate, they realize someone has decided at long last to avenge the crimes of the past. Will the secret of what they did twenty-five years ago be revealed? Will any of them be alive at the end of the weekend to find out?<\/p>\n
