[You Have seven undead messages , Detective] It begins with a phone plugged into a faulty socket and an electric malfunction, it ends with seven dead and one missing... Detective Maxwell Morgan is called to investigate what seems to be, by all accounts, an impossible murder. In all of his years, he has never seen a crime this gruesome perpetrated in such a puzzling way.

He must solve the case under a deadline; if he cannot catch the culprit by dawn, the place will be swarming with reporters, ruining his client's dear reputation. And Meredith values her good name more than her own life. What's already an impossible crime gets dialed up when Maxwell finds an unexplainable oddity: a strange landline telephone that doesn't belong to any of the partygoers. Perhaps it's simply waiting for its next owner... [Interrogate the Living and Phone the Dead ] Dead Ringer is a Murder...
