Think about it: we are going to put twelve strangers in a bunker one hundred feet underground, and then tell them that all we are going to do is observe their interactions while they perform basic tasks for two weeks. Then we are going to fake a cataclysmic event followed by a complete disconnect for an additional two weeks while we secretly monitor their meltdown from inside. After two weeks of subliminal messaging, and with our guy inside feeding fear into them, they will think World War Three has happened and they are the lone survivors trapped one hundred feet underground. How would you react, Bob?' John asked the Colonel.HOW WOULD YOU REACT?

What if I told you that the people that are supposed to be working for us, protecting us, and serving us are actually our biggest enemies? They're the biggest liars on earth and most importantly they're the biggest gangsters in all of the land. They make the laws, they pass the laws and they decide who suffers the consequences of the laws that they have created but they will never suffer that same fate. They're in control of this entire country and the majority of the people in this country have no clue as to what's going on around them. They manipulate us with fake news. They brainwash us with horrible television shows, meaningless news, and lies. My name is Hollister Jones and I'm here to expose this entire corrupted government system for what it is, and that is pure evil. I'm here to expose every corrupted mayor, senator, governor, and all of the other corrupted politicians in this country, and fortunately, that means exposing them all for what they truly are, and that's gangsters, who wear suits.

As the doors of the elevator were forced open, Mack's worst fears were confirmed. A delicate hand dangled at the top, peeking out from above the elevator. From the shape and size and the green color on the nails, the hand belonged to a woman. Had they found Mia? Lakemore, Washington. When Mia Gallagher is reported missing after an apparent abduction, Detective Mackenzie Price is immediately called in to investigate. But as she begins to scour CCTV footage of her last known movements, Mia's body is discovered in an elevator shaft. DNA evidence points to a troubled local man from the wrong side of town. But before he can be questioned, his body is found alongside a suicide note with the words: I killed her. I didn't want to. But I had no choice. The case appears closed until another woman goes missing and 48 hours later is found dead. The only link between the victims is a connection to Baron Wildman, one of the most powerful men in Lakemore but there is no hard evidence connecting him to their deaths. When a local man confesses to the second killing, his M.O. is eerily similar to the first: kill or be killed. Then a third woman disappears and Mack knows she has just forty-eight hours to discover who lies at the heart of the blackmailing ring and find her victim alive. Soon it becomes clear that this twisted killer will go to any lengths to protect a decades-old secret and wreak their revenge, even if that means hurting those closest to Mack. Can she unravel who lies at the heart of this deadly game before she loses another person she loves?
