The last show has ended, but the nightmare is just beginning.

Tonight, Riverview Theaters is closing forever, the last remaining business in a defunct shopping mall. The moviegoers have left, and Jo and her six coworkers have the final shift, a shift that quickly takes a dark turn.

First a stranger arrives with a chilling accusation. Then the power goes out and their manager disappears, along with the keys to the lobby doors and the theater safe, where the crew's phones are locked each shift. The crew's tension turns to terror when Jo discovers the dead body of one of her co-workers.

Now their only chance to escape the murderer in their midst is through the dark, shuttered mall. With its boarded-up exits and disabled fire alarms, the complex is filled with hiding places for both pursuer and pursued. In order to survive this night, Jo and her friends must trust one another, navigate the sprawling ruins of the mall, and outwit a killer before he kills them all.

Natalie D. Richards is the author of two New York Times Bestselling novels, Five Total Strangers and Seven Dirty Secrets, as well as six additional novels. Natalie writes “page-turning thrillers'' (School Library Journal) that appeal to both teen and adult audiences. Her first middle-grade book, through Penguin Random House, is called 15 Secrets to Survival and is due out in 2023. Four Found Dead will be Natalie’s ninth Young Adult thriller and is expected to be a bone chilling addition to her psychologically twisted work.

Natalie enjoys encouraging aspiring writers, meeting her readers, and thinking up her next chilling plot. She currently lives in Ohio with her three children and (very) large dog, Wookie.   

David Bell is a USA Today bestselling, award-winning author whose work has been translated into multiple languages. He’s currently a professor of English at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
