Synopsis:

You are invited… To the annual game where teenage competitors search Sky Manor for the key to open a vault hidden behind the deceptive walls. The winner will have the wealth of a lifetime, but there is one catch.

One contestant must die. This year, seven people step off the zeppelin to compete. A banker’s son. A rich gentleman. A nice girl. A poor shopkeeper. A gold digger. An outsider. A thief. All have secrets of their own, and all have reasons to kill.

When one player turns up dead, the other six find themselves in a game of cat and mouse, the murderer among them. Who will win, and who will die?


What To Expect:

Readers can expect a twist-filled steampunk mystery in the vein of “The Westing Game” or “Clue” where a large cast of characters compete to solve a series of puzzles and find a treasure, while also working hard to sabotage each other. It has elements of fantasy and sci-fi, as well as historical fiction.
