The Reckoning Chamber

Eight strangers are summoned to an isolated mountain lodge under the guise of a judicial retreat, only to be trapped by a blizzard and forced into a deadly game of retribution. Each guest harbors a secret homicide tied to a single unjust sentence under a habitual offender law, and as bodies begin to fall, the survivors must confront the hidden chain of blood debts that binds them. In the tradition of Walter Mosley, this locked-room thriller exposes how violence never resolves the past but instead spawns deeper, more covert cycles of hatred that echo across communities.
