Someone wishes to see you again.

Five years ago, your husband died at Blackthorn Manor.

Now, an anonymous invitation summons you back to the very place where you lost him.

On Halloween night, the manor opens its doors for an exclusive masquerade. Behind the glittering masks, champagne, and candlelight, everyone seems to be hiding something.

Especially Anthony.

Devastatingly handsome, infuriatingly confident, and armed with a dangerously sharp wit, the former defense attorney claims he's attending for reasons remarkably similar to yours.

You're a detective. You know better than to trust a charming stranger.

But some secrets are harder to uncover than others.

And at Blackthorn Manor, the last dance changes everything.
