Trivia Night: Murder on the Outer Banks

by Greg Smrdel

Trivia Murder on the Outer Banks is a darkly compelling mystery set in the breezy coastal towns of North Carolina. Rick Gregory has hosted trivia games across the Outer Banks for years, priding himself on precision, fairness, and absolute respect for the game. But when players—both locals and unsuspecting tourists—fail to meet his high standards, Rick’s obsession takes a deadly turn. A string of bizarre and seemingly unrelated murders baffles local law enforcement, as no clear motive or pattern emerges. It takes a determined local TV reporter, piecing together odd clues from one beach town to the next, to suspect the unthinkable. With the State Bureau of Investigation launching a high-stakes sting operation, the race is on to stop a killer hiding in plain sight—behind the trivia podium.
