All These Condemned: A Novel

A television star wilting under the limelight. An adman with a stiff upper lip. A rising New York artist. A desperate housewife. All are victims of a cruel puppet masterâ€”and one of them is a killer.

Introduction by Dean Koontz

The head of a global cosmetics empire, Wilma Ferris became a self-made success by taking everything people had to giveâ€”and more. Mixing business with pleasure is her standard operating procedure. And sheâ€™s playing the same game when she invites eight of her closest friendsâ€”all of whom owe their livelihoods to Wilmaâ€”to a weekend party at her lake house.
Â
After a late-night skinny-dipping session turns into a frantic search for the missing host, it becomes apparent that one of the guests had seen enough. Wilmaâ€™s body is pulled from the cold water, but the cause of death isnâ€™t drowningâ€”itâ€™s a blow to the head. Was it a crime of passion or premeditated murder? Neither would surprise any of Wilmaâ€™s guests. Each of them has a motiveâ€”or two. In the end, all will be condemned.
