Back Cover Text

Six went in...only one came out.

The Standedge Tunnel, the longest canal tunnel in England, has become one of the rural village of Marsden’s main tourist attractions. Now it’s also a crime scene.

Six students went into the tunnel on a private boat. Two and a half hours later, the boat reappeared at the other end of the tunnel carrying only one of the students, Matthew. He had been knocked unconscious and has no memory of what took place in the tunnel. The police suspect he killed his friends, hid the bodies and later moved them to an undisclosed location. But sitting in a cell awaiting trial, Matthew maintains his innocence.

When Matthew contacts a famous author asking him for help in return for information he claims to possess about the author’s long-lost wife, it’s an offer that can’t be refused. But before the author can prove Matthew’s innocence, he must first answer a far more unusual question: How did five bodies disappear into thin air?

Praise

Praise for Guess Who

“When was the last time you stayed up way too late reading a book
because you were locked so deeply into its grip? This is not your
grandmother’s locked-room mystery.”

—The Oklahoman

“Packed with gripping twists and turns, Guess Who is an inventive,
entertaining locked-room mystery that kept me utterly hooked.”

—Adam Hamdy, author of Pendulum

“An ingenious twisty mystery in a totally unique setting.”

—Claire McGowan, author of The Lost

“An impressive debut and a sign of great things to come.”

—James Oswald, author of Natural Causes

“Guess Who is an incredibly satisfying, intelligent thriller running
at breakneck pace right until its closing pages. A marvelous debut.”

—Fran Dorricott, author of After the Eclipse

“A fresh take on the locked-room murder mystery. The plotting
is intricate, the characters well drawn, and the pace never lets up
as it drives headlong to the surprising end.”

—David C. Taylor, Edgar Award–nominated, Nero Award–winning author of Night Life

Chapter One

Robin’s phone buzzed on the table and he looked up at the man standing over him apologetically. The man didn’t even seem to notice—he just kept staring at Robin with a blank expression, waiting for Robin to do his thing.

Robin signed the book to a “Vivian,” writing his standard message and signing it with a quick flick of the wrist. He closed the hardback, sliding it back over to the man, who picked it up, grunted in something that resembled approval and made a break for the cashier. Robin hoped Vivian would appreciate his scrawl a little more.
