Hyde, alone in the ranks of mankind, was pure evil." The mysterious

Girl. Small town murders. Big time thrills. Killers walk among us.
Statistically, at least one of them knows your name... Beatrice
Fletcher is obsessed with unsolved murders in her small town of
Cabot Cove, Maine like her great-aunt Jessica, the famous mystery
writer. But when her best friend Jackson goes missing, this time
the mystery is personal. Then Jackson fails to show up for a late
night meet-up, and instead, Bea stumbles upon three students from
the elite Broadmoor Academy: overly-friendly and slightly vicious
Leisl, her aloof twin brother, Leif, and Carlos, who knows more
about, well, everything than he's letting on. They're worldly,
secretive, and big on playing games like tenace, the hush-hush
Broadmoor tradition where anything or anyone can be a clue to
future fame and fortune, and players will stop at nothing -
including murder - to get ahead. If Bea wants to find Jackson, she
too must join the game and play to win. Everyone in Cabot Cove has
secrets, and it's up to Bea to ferret them out before it's too late
in this thrilling modern update of the classic television show.
