Spotlights. Action. A lethal twist in the heart of Oregon's captivating Opal Creek Wilderness. A contestant from a reality survival show lies lifeless at the foot of a cliff, his body shattered among the rugged terrain, raising questions of whether it was an unfortunate accident or a calculated murder. Despite the show's producers急于 branding it as such, local law enforcement suspects foul play.

While Detective Thomas Austin relishes a peaceful wine-tasting tour with friends through the picturesque Oregon countryside, his path collides with the enigma when he discovers the deceased was a renowned author, a neighbor mere minutes away from his own residence. As Austin navigates a tangled web of conflicting narratives from the show's cast and crew, he encounters an unexpected array of stakeholders: protesters, paparazzi, a local tribe, and even Bigfoot enthusiasts.

As Austin delves deeper into the grim underbelly of the reality TV spectacle and its participants, he unearths layers of deception and hidden motives that threaten to engulf him. And with the baffling disappearance of another contestant, the case takes a sinister turn, testing Austin's investigative prowess beyond his wildest expectations.

In a world where reality blurs with illusion, Austin struggles to distinguish fact from fiction, racing against time to unravel the truth before the killer strikes again. The tenth electrifying installment of this pulse-pounding thriller series leaves readers gasping, questioning the very foundations of truth, and demanding more.
