Terri Rinehart writes mysteries with a twist: instead of watching a detective solve the case, you do. Eliminate the Innocent hands you the entire investigation — a sprawling suspect list, nineteen verified clues, and the patience to work through both.
Forty Thousand Names Hide One Killer
When the storm knocks out the power at the Grand Meridian Hotel, midnight brings more than darkness. The emergency lights come back on to reveal Raven Ashcroft, the hotel's own Director of Security, dead in the Executive meeting room.
No forced entry. No weapon left behind. No single witness who can point to a killer. With roughly 40,000 guests registered at the retreat, the suspect list is longer than any ordinary investigation could handle.
In Eliminate the Innocent, that impossible case is yours to solve. Across twenty chapters, you'll weigh thousands of names against nineteen verified clues — the goal isn't to guess the killer early, it's to rule out every suspect who can't survive every single clue.
