A RUTHLESS GAME. SEVEN MYSTERY PLAYERS. LOVE AND LIVES ARE AT STAKE.
Welcome to the Grandest Game, a life-changing competition run by
billionaire Avery Grambs and the four infamous Hawthorne brothers.
LYRA tells herself she’s only playing for the money – not for answers
about her father’s death and certainly not to confront the infuriating,
enigmatic GRAYSON Hawthorne. Facing off against Lyra are GIGI,
Grayson’s half-sister, who is determined to prove herself, and ROHAN,
who has few morals, a dangerous skill set, and no future – unless he
wins the game.
Swept away to a luxury private island, Lyra, Gigi and Rohan must do
whatever it takes to best one another, a cast of formidable rivals, and
a game that only the sharpest minds can conquer. As sparks fly and the
challenges push the players to their limits, it becomes clear that
everyone has secrets, ad the past won’t stay buried forever.
WHO HAS WHAT IT TAKES TO WIN?

tree or trying a spot of amateur engineering, her shy twin Agatha

couldn't be more different. But when a scientific discovery goes
missing, they find that together they make a winning combination
and Christie and Agatha's Detective Agency is born. Join the twin
detectives as they solve thrilling mysteries all over the world!
In 1982, two teenagers-serial killer survivor Emma Lewis and US
Marshal candidate Travis Bell-are recruited by the FBI to interview
convicted juvenile killers and provide insight and advice on cold
cases. From the start, Emma and Travis develop a quick friendship,
gaining information from juvenile murderers that even the FBI can't
crack. But when the team is called in to give advice on an active
case-a serial killer who exclusively hunts teenagers-things begin
to unravel. Working against the clock, they must turn to one of the
country's most notorious incarcerated murderers for help: teenage
sociopath Simon Gutmunsson. Despite Travis's objections, Emma
becomes the conduit between Simon and the FBI team. But while Simon
seems to be giving them the information they need to save lives,
he's an expert manipulator playing a very long game...and he has
his sights set on Emma. Captivating, harrowing, and chilling, None
Shall Sleep is an all-too-timely exploration of not only the
monsters that live among us, but also the monsters that live inside
us.
