    A chilling murder at a prestigious prep school serves as the backdrop for this riveting novel featuring forensic reconstructionist Rory Moore and her psychologist partner, Lane Phillips. At Indiana's elite Westmont Preparatory High School, high expectations and strict rules dominate. However, an abandoned boarding house in the woods, notorious among students as a late-night hangout, harbors a sinister legend: don’t let your candle go out, or the Man in the Mirror will find you. A year ago, two students were brutally killed there, a case that has become the subject of a popular podcast, The Suicide House. Although a teacher was convicted, lingering mysteries remain, particularly why so many survivors have returned to the boarding house to take their own lives. Rory and Lane, working on the podcast, aim to reconstruct the night of the murders to uncover answers that have eluded the school and authorities. As they delve deeper into the lives of troubled students, the stoic suspect, and a dangerous game gone wrong, they become increasingly convinced that something sinister persists. Within Westmont Prep, the game thrives on secrecy and silence, leaving its players with no clear path to victory—or survival.
