Everyone Wanted Him Dead

Why would six dinner guests feel relieved when their host drops dead? Judge Arthur has spent a decade paying Julian Cross to keep his career intact. At Julian's mountain estate, five other guests have equally good reasons to dread another dinner with their blackmailer. Outside, a blizzard cuts off the only road. Then Julian collapses at the table. For a moment, Arthur thinks the nightmare is over. Steel shutters seal the house. Every phone loses its signal. Julian's recorded voice comes through the intercom, and a ninety-minute countdown begins. The temperature is falling. The guests are turning on one another. Arthur has spent his career deciding whom to believe. Tonight, one wrong judgment could be his last.
