But Ethan’s instincts tell him something is wrong. The crime scene doesn’t add up—there’s no gunpowder residue, no exit wound, and the weapon rests in the wrong hand. As he digs deeper, Ethan uncovers a web of lies hidden within the hotel’s shadowy halls, where every guest has a secret and the past refuses to stay buried. The deeper he goes, the more dangerous the truth becomes—and someone is watching his every move. With the help of a reluctant housekeeper and a curious bellhop, Ethan races to piece together the puzzle before the killer strikes again. As the tension builds, the Blackwood Grand transforms from a lavish hideaway into a claustrophobic trap, and Room 306 becomes the centre of a chilling conspiracy.
