A manuscript full of hidden truths. A mountain chalet full of destructive lies. Five years after the mysterious disappearance of bestselling author Adam Ashwood, the successful true-crime podcast Dead Air aims to finally solve the case. For this, podcast host Sophie invites listeners to an exclusive live event: a weekend in a remote mountain chalet by Lake Eibsee. Among the guests is YouTuber Mara, known for giving a voice to women forgotten by society. Right in the first episode, it is revealed: There is an unpublished manuscript by Adam Ashwood. And this could provide the crucial clue the public has been searching for for years. As the audience participates in the live stream, Mara senses that someone in the chalet knows more than they admit. With each new clue, tensions rise among the attendees, and one question increasingly comes to the forefront: Who can you really trust? Because someone has no interest in solving the case from back then. Someone wants revenge. At any cost. An exhilarating thriller with an annotated manuscript as an interactive puzzle element in the book!.
