Secrets
From J. F. Gonzalez, author of Fetish, Survivor, and The Beloved, comes a locked-room tale of deceit, perversity, and murder.
Just before Christmas, a blizzard strands five friends at the local watering hole. They plan on an uneventful night enjoying each others' company as they wait out the storm.
Everything changes when the stranger arrives. He knows each of their darkest secrets--secrets that he shouldn't know, secrets that he threatens to reveal. Trapped in the bar, friends turn against each other as tensions increase, as distrust and paranoia fester.
And then they find the dead girl in the bathroom...

Very enjoyable novella from J.F. Gonzalez, a quick read with many twists and turns. It was very difficult not to read it in one sitting, if you enjoy a good thriller/horror seek this one out, its worth it.
