Blacker than midnight

Ten years ago, five friends went to Deadwater Lake for one last weekend together.
By sunrise, four were gone.
And the survivor just learned that the nightmare has just begun.

When the sole survivor of a mass murder comes to Mercy Gale for help, she claims she’s met a man who spoke the killer’s final words—words no one else alive should know. The revelation pulls Mercy into a decades-old nightmare of secrets, lies, and blood. Was the wrong man executed for the crime? How does a stranger know what only the dead could? As Mercy digs deeper, she realizes someone is watching her… someone who remembers that night all too well—and is determined to finish what was started.
