The Hollow Masqueradee

In the fog-choked town of Saltgrave, the annual Masquerade of Motives at Cliffside Manor is a glittering facade for lies and betrayal. When a reclusive comedian, a disgraced therapist, a cunning bartender, and a vengeful widow are drawn into a deadly game of secrets, a murder at the masquerade unravels their tangled pasts. Flick Marrow, haunted by his sister’s unsolved murder, cracks dark jokes to mask his paranoia. Dr. Evelyn Voss, a fallen therapist, manipulates truths she can’t face herself. Riley Quinn, a charming hustler, hides their ties to Saltgrave’s underworld. Marina Holt, driven by grief, seeks justice for her husband’s death. As alliances shift and a killer stalks the manor’s shadowed halls, their wit, guilt, and desperation collide in a darkly funny, emotionally raw, and suspenseful race to unmask the truth—or become its next victim.
