The Last Shift: A Locked-Room Murder Mystery
Agatha Cross
A blizzard turns a quiet graveyard shift into a claustrophobic locked-room murder mystery where the killer is trapped inside.
Harper’s routine night at The Apex diner disintegrates into a survival nightmare when automated storm shutters seal the building against a raging winter storm. With the exits rusted shut and the local sheriff found dead in the walk-in freezer, this atmospheric thriller delivers a pulse-pounding experience perfect for a snowy night in. Paranoia spreads through the neon-lit room as the temperature drops and the suspect list narrows to the three people left breathing.
It is an impossible crime with no footprints in the snow and nowhere to hide. As the clock ticks toward the morning unlock, Harper must transform from an exhausted employee into an amateur sleuth. Every misplaced key and melting patch of ice matters in this high-stakes game of fair play deduction.
What you will encounter in this tense standoff:
A classic closed circle mystery:Real-time puzzle solving:Relentless psychological tension: Unravel a complex web of secrets before the sun rises. This gripping narrative proves that the most dangerous place to be is locked inside with a stranger who has nothing left to lose.
