About the book
A man wakes in a forest with no memory of who he is, and can only call out for someone named Anna. He makes his way to Blackheath Manor, where a party hosted by the Hardcastle family is under way and where he is told he is a doctor. He soon learns his real name is Aiden Bishop. He must spend eight days inhabiting eight different guests in order to identify who murders Evelyn Hardcastle at 11pm. Failure wipes his memory and restarts the cycle, while two rivals compete, and only one person may leave.
