  •  “A mystery-thriller features a reality TV show, a murder and a cantakerous detective with at touch of House M.D. ... Armstrong compels us to keep reading ... keeps us chuckling. A series to watch.” —Booklist

A killer plays a high-stakes game on the set of a live-broadcast reality television show where guests are trapped for six months in a “haunted” mansion. Alban Bane, detective and smart-mouthed single dad, is one of those well-defined characters you won’t quickly forget. He must solve the mysterious case—in spite of opposition from the state governor and Hollywood producers—while trying to save his family and solve the decade-old murder of his wife.

  • “Tongue-in-cheek thriller.” —Library Journal
  • “Reality TV, a murder, a cantankerous detective with a touch of House MD ... compels us to keep reading, and his prose style keeps us chuckling. An author to watch.” —Booklist
  • “A super-sleuth ... a multiplicity of games.” —Kirkus
  • “Promising ... sexy.” —Publishers Weekly
  • “Hugely cinematic thriller with dark comic moments.” —Films & Books Magazine

About the Author — Derek Armstrong

Derek Armstrong loves the controversial and the unique. He focuses on “high concept” but with a dash of black humor. Edgy dialogue and broad swipes at the zeitgeist are integral to Armstrong’s idiosyncratic writing. His other novels include MADicine, The Last Troubadour and The Last Quest.
