Fay Garmone has always had an advanced imagination, but never before has she been forced to use it- until now.Orphaned and taking care of the mother duties for her two brothers Geronimoe and Triumph she finds herself, and them, to be proud owners of a home wracked with mystery and excitement. Patten's place (as they called it) was quiet and crime free until one night when four strangers enter, talking of murder. In a moment of heroism, she decides it is her duty to save him, but at a price she can only hope to pay without loosing her mind. Fay, alone and scared, is thrown into a horrible competition. She is hurled head first into a world she knows nothing about, and a game forcing her to fool all with fake intelligence, avoid the murderous Lee Yellen, and try desperately to keep her sanity when she realizes she has no choice, but to continue with the Morderer's Sacrifice.
