Marlo Bishop built the Crucible’s Halloween haunt to save her roller derby league. Then someone replaces the prop corpse with a real one. Celeste Harper came to the rink with questions about the league’s finances. Minutes later, Marlo finds her dead on a gurney in the murder room, dressed in a costume that makes the killing look like part of the show. Whoever staged her body knew the haunt well enough to move through it unseen. That puts Marlo’s teammates under suspicion, including the captain she trusts most. Detective Grady Whitlock knows the Crucible, too. He used to skate there. He also used to be the man Marlo loved, until their relationship ended six years ago. Now he’s back with a badge, a reason to investigate Celeste’s accounts, and far more knowledge of Marlo’s life than she realizes. Marlo wants to protect the league. Grady wants the truth. As the evidence closes in on the people who built the haunt beside her, Marlo has to work with the one man she never expected to trust again. The killer is still inside their circle, and this time, nobody gets to hide behind a mask.
