The Suicide House: A Gripping and Brilliant Novel of Suspense (A Rory Moore/Lane Phillips Novel Book 2)

A murder at Indiana's elite Westmont Preparatory High School forms the center of this novel featuring forensic reconstructionist Rory Moore and psychologist Lane Phillips. Within the school's walls, an abandoned boarding house in the surrounding woods serves as a late-night gathering place for students, governed by a single rule: keep your candle lit, or the Man in the Mirror will find you. One year prior, two students were killed there. A teacher was convicted of the murders, but the case remains the subject of a podcast called The Suicide House. Since that night, multiple surviving students have returned to the boarding house to take their own lives, raising urgent questions about what actually occurred. Rory works with Lane on the podcast, attempting to reconstruct the events of the killings to uncover answers. As they investigate further, they become convinced the sinister game at Westmont Prep continues. Built on secrecy and silence, it may offer no path to victory or survival for those involved.
