When the wealthy Lord Edgar Wynthorne is found dead inside his locked study on a storm-lashed night, the grand halls of Wynthorne Manor fall into chaos.
The death seems natural—until Detective Arjun Hale arrives.
Calm, methodical, and known for uncovering the truths others hide, Hale senses something sinister beneath the surface. The windows were locked. The doors sealed. No one could have entered—or escaped. Yet someone in the house is lying.
As the storm traps everyone inside, secrets begin to unravel: a trembling maid who saw too much, a doctor with a hidden fear, a wife whose sorrow feels rehearsed, and a loyal butler whose calm borders on chilling.
Every whisper, every glance, every scent of jasmine carries a clue. And with each passing hour, the echo of a murder grows louder.
In a mansion filled with lies and half-truths, Detective Arjun Hale must untangle a mystery where everyone has something to hide—and one has blood on their hands.
