Naughty List - Paperback

The perfect retreat. The blizzard of the century. A judgment that cannot be escaped.

The high-flyers of a cutthroat marketing firm expected a weekend of expensive scotch and forced holiday cheer at the isolated Silver Bell Lodge. Instead, they found a snow-covered slaughterhouse.

Trapped by a mountain storm that has swallowed the world, the retreat devolves into a desperate fight for survival. A methodical hunter, draped in industrial burlap and moving with the precision of a butcher, has begun to systematically dismantle the group. He doesn't just kill; he stages each death as a grotesque reflection of the victim's own moral rot, using an arsenal of repurposed holiday icons turned into lethal instruments.

Armed with a heavy leather-bound book, the killer is enforcing a primal code of accountability. In his eyes, office apathy, predatory greed, and the casual betrayal of others are terminal offenses.

As paranoia shatters the survivors, Mia, a quiet intern who has spent her career fading into the background, realizes she is the only one who sees the pattern. To survive the night, she must navigate the blood-stained corridors of the lodge and the shifting loyalties of her terrified superiors.

But the true horror doesn't end when the storm clears. Mia soon discovers that the massacre was only an opening move, forcing her into a final, soul-crushing choice: cling to her fading humanity, or embrace the cold, mechanical efficiency of the very machine that demanded this blood-soaked reckoning.

This Christmas, the record is being set straight. In the silence of the mountains, everyone is held accountable, and the cost of your secrets is your life.
