Virgil Hesse has disappeared. All that remains of him is a manuscript for a story: a locked room murder mystery. The Cosmigrove family reunites for the first time in years. The family's patriarch, the infamous Joseph Cosmigrove, is dying. He'd dedicated his life to his art -- and his death will prove to be nothing short of artistic. One morning, the family awakens to find that someone has dug a hole in their garden. At its bottom lies a skeleton. A prologue to a series of bizarre murders that will soon fall upon the family. The skeleton begins to move through the house, as if through walls, escaping from and into locked rooms. --That is the story. But the story, as the editors reading it will find, is more than just mere fiction. Soon enough, it bleeds into the real world in the most horrifying of ways. Built in honor and deconstruction of the Golden Age of Detective Fiction, this modern take on the classic mystery will keep readers guessing until the very end
