SHE SAID YES TO A DINNER INVITATION. NOW SHE'S A MURDER SUSPECT . . .
'A gripping page-turner' CATHERINE RYAN HOWARD
'Agatha Christie meets John Grisham' SAM BLAKE
'I couldn't put it down' ANDREA MARA
A visit to her old university takes an unexpected turn for solicitor Finn Fitzpatrick when she receives an exclusive invitation. She is far from high profile on the legal scene, so why is she on the guestlist for a select gathering in the College president's private dining room?
Three days later, a body is discovered on College grounds. And, as the police launch their hunt for the killer, everyone who was at dinner that night falls under suspicion. Including Finn.
Soon, she's investigating the murder, unearthing the bitter rivalries and hidden agendas lurking beneath the success of her fellow dinner guests. As the mysteries and revelations pile up, Finn finds herself keeping secrets from those around her - but at what cost?
