Four minutes of darkness. One dead guest. A motel full of secrets.
When a hurricane strangles the Cape Forlorn causeway, the Stormglass Motel becomes a sealed box. Photographer Naomi Bell is found by the ice machine, her camera missing. With 911 unreachable and tensions spiking, night manager D'arcy does the only thing she trusts: she builds a timeline-minutes, not stories.
A hidden ledger of aliases. A four-minute power gap. A towel with a bleach-blotched map. A whisper of surveillance where no one consented. As the storm's eye nears, D'arcy has one small window to pull the cached footage and prove what happened-before the wind brings everything down.
The Stormglass Motel is a storm-locked, closed-circle mystery about pressure, privacy, and the truths people hide when the lights go out. Perfect for readers of Lucy Foley's The Guest List and Megan Miranda's coastal thrillers-tense, human, and laser-focused on the seconds that matter.
