Guess Who

A debut thriller that offers a fresh, modern twist on the classic locked room mystery novel, for readers of Noah Hawley and Jeffery Deaver

At eleven years old, Morgan Sheppard solved the murder of a teacher when everyone else believed it to be a suicide. The publicity surrounding the case laid the foundation for his reputation as a modern-day Sherlock Holmes. He parlayed that fame into a gig as TV's resident detective, solving the more typical tawdry daytime talk show mysteries like Who is the father? and Is he cheating?

Until, that is, Sheppard wakes up handcuffed to a bed in an unfamiliar hotel room. Around him, five strangers are slowly waking up, as well. Soon they discover a corpse in the bath. And Sheppard is challenged to put his deductive skills to the test. One of the people in the room is the killer. He has three hours to solve the murder. If he doesn't find the killer, they all die.

Guess Who is a page-turning debut that brings the high-wire plotting of classic locked room mysteries into the world of the modern-day thriller.
