Book excerpt: After a promotional forum, Joseph and Oscar, along with six other attendees, find themselves residing in a villa atop a mountain. That very night, Johnson mysteriously disappears from his room with both the door and windows securely locked from the inside. His unexplained absence sends ripples of confusion throughout the villa. Assisted by the villa's staff - Mr. Campbell and Patrick - Johnson's assistant, Peter, and guests including the couple Kevin and Jade, Isaac, and Dallas, Joseph spearheads a search. Yet, there's no trace of him. The staff confirm that the villa's main gate was locked, making Johnson's exit virtually impossible. As tension escalates within the confined space, the consensus surges: Johnson is hiding with nefarious intentions. Later, when Joseph rings Johnson's cell phone, the ringing echoes hauntingly in the silent corridors, but Johnson's whereabouts remain enigmatic. As the night unfolds, Patrick too goes missing, only for his body to be discovered in Joseph's closet. Joseph becomes convinced that a premeditated murderer lurks among them, and that Patrick's fate was sealed because he inadvertently witnessed the act. A torrential downpour ensues, rendering the mountain roads impassable, trapping the eight inhabitants in a cloud of suspicion and distrust. When the storm subsides, the police arrive to examine the crime scene and interrogate each individual. As Joseph had a longstanding friendship with Johnson, he's asked to assist in the inquiry. Officer Cox, leading the investigation, alongside Joseph, delves deeper by visiting Johnson's place of employment and probing into their interpersonal connections. This scrutiny unveils a crucial, concealed lead. Back at the villa, Officer Cox assembles all present, and with all eyes on him, Joseph identifies the killer and elucidates the crime's chronology. As it transpired, Johnson and Jade were business partners, and due to Johnson's intentions to withdraw a significant sum, both Jade and Kevin harbored murderous intentions. Complicating the plot, Johnson had an affair with Dallas's wife, making them bitter rivals. This trio devised an intricate plan, even bribing Assistant Cox to murder Johnson inside the villa, all the while fabricating impeccable alibis. Their plot only faltered when Patrick accidentally witnessed them moving Johnson's body, leading them to hastily silence him, causing an unforeseen oversight. With the evidence presented, the culprits, after a spell of evasive maneuverin
