When a group of old college friends reunites for a summer vacation at a beach house in coastal Massachusetts, a sudden disappearance and the arrival of a seductive stranger threaten to unearth the darkest secrets of their relationships.
A reunion unravels into a haunting tale of tension and mystery. When a reclusive writer vanishes and eerie disturbances plague the house, the group is forced to confront long-buried secrets, their fragile connections, and the chilling presence lurking beyond the marsh. Set against the backdrop of a once-Spiritualist fishing village, this masterful page-turner explores friendship, life’s mounting responsibilities, and the fragile dreams of youth in the face of adult reality.
The ultimate locked-room mystery awaits.
In The Fourth Door, a murder in a sealed room and another in snowbound isolation defy reason, yet Dr. Alan Twist proves that even the impossible has a rational explanation. Hailed as the French successor to John Dickson Carr, Paul Halter’s ingenious storytelling delivers twist after twist, reminiscent of Anthony Horowitz and Knives Out. Winner of the Prix du Roman Policier, this is an essential read for fans of cunning puzzles and atmospheric thrillers.
