The victim was playing dead. Until a killer made it real. Halloween night, 2013. A ghost tour winds through the ancient streets of Chester. One actress collapses in a pool of stage blood-only it isn't fake. Laurel Hart dies in full costume, in front of an audience that applauds the performance. Twelve years later, the case is still cold. No motive. No suspects. No justice. Enter Dr. Charlie Morrow, a forensic psychiatrist with a controversial past and a psychic gift she doesn't advertise. Recruited into a newly formed cold case unit, Charlie is tasked with uncovering the truth behind a murder disguised as theatre. But in a world of scripted fear, unreliable memories, and buried rivalries, nothing is what it seems. As Charlie and her reluctant colleagues dig deeper, old lies unravel and new threats emerge. The killer may be gone-but someone is still watching. And Charlie knows too well that performance and reality can bleed together in dangerous ways. Some cases don't stay buried. Some killers don't need to strike again-because they already performed it perfectly the first time. Taut, lyrical, and unflinchingly psychological, Play Dead is a gripping cold-case mystery that explores the stories we tell, the masks we wear, and the thin line between performance and truth.
