A distinctive and chilling new thriller from the author of Richard & Judy pick and Sunday Times bestseller THE RECOVERY OF ROSE GOLD

Why did he invite them? Why did they come? A hotel dedicated to the Master of Suspense - round-the-clock film screenings, movie memorabilia in every room, and an aviary of fifty crows. Owner Alfred Smettle invites his five closest friends from college to stay. He hasn't spoken to any of them in sixteen years. Alfred calls it a reunion. Really, it's a last chance. But Alfred is not the only one with an agenda. And it's only a matter of time before things get worse. After all, no Hitchcock set is complete without a dead body.
