You never know who’ s listening.
To Stella Dixon, sneaking her teenage brother out of their parents’ house for a beach party was harmless fun— until Max disappeared without a trace.
Six years later, Stella’ s family is still broken, and she can’ t let go of her guilt. The only thing that keeps her going is helping other families find closure through A Killer Motive, her true crime podcast.
In a bid to find new sponsors and keep making episodes, Stella goes on a local radio show. But when she says on air that if she had just one clue, she’ d find Max and bring whoever hurt him to justice, someone takes it as a challenge.
A mysterious invitation to play a game arrives, with the promise that if Stella wins, she’ ll get information about what happened to Max. Stella thinks it’ s a sick joke… until Max’ s best friend vanishes. And she’ s given new instructions: tell nobody or people will die.
Desperate and unable to trust anyone, Stella agrees. But beating a twisted, invisible enemy seems impossible when they make all the rules…
