Death Under Falling Stars

Natalie Valentine knows how to read a sky, a schedule, and the tiny shifts in a room before anyone else notices them. At Moonfall Ridge, she's built the perfect retreat: telescopes aligned, guests assigned, and the Perseids ready to do what they do best-draw strangers together under a dark, beautiful sky.

Then the blackout hits. Forty seconds later, Clark Thorne is on the deck in shattered glass and broken metal, and the lodge's calm, polished surface begins to crack. A torn scarf. A rewritten schedule. A set of bolts loosened by hand. Every clue points to someone who knew the mountain, the timing, and the people well enough to use all three.

As Natalie follows the evidence deeper into the lodge's private arrangements, she discovers that Clark had a talent for making people feel chosen. Now every guest has a reason to lie-and one of them has a reason to kill again.
