Description
In an isolated rural pub where weekly trivia keeps the lights on, Sue and Mal Eastwood think they’ve found a quiet new life—until a body surfaces in the nearby river and the game becomes something far more dangerous than entertainment. Each round of questions is mirrored by shifting phone messages, emails, and category clues, while a mysterious new team arrives to dominate every quiz, unsettling the regulars and tightening the net around the truth. As Sue and Mal’s past—tied to a secret police operation—begins to surface, their nephew Dominic returns with a documentary plan that threatens to expose what they’ve spent years burying. With Janice Hallett’s signature, puzzle-box storytelling, this is a high-stakes mystery about how information travels, how secrets compound, and how one “killer question” can turn a community’s game into a reckoning.
