The Three-Knock Mystery

A new clue to claim in every book. Collect all six to solve the case!

Six old friends have built their lives in very different worlds: a vineyard, a coffee roastery, a library, a craft shop, a farm, and an artist’s studio. A long-buried secret still connects them—and each friend holds one piece of the mystery.

The question waiting behind the door

Who was E.M.—and why did five families help her disappear?

A hidden cellar. A delivery made after midnight. A warning disguised as fiction. A second door, a buried box, and a portrait waiting beneath a cloth. The friends have carried the pieces for years. You get to put them together.

Meet the circle

Six friends. Six peculiar ways of seeing the truth.

01 Natalia Russo Vineyard owner and relentless puzzle-maker

Natalia found a hidden cellar beneath Russo Estate as a child—and never learned who once sheltered there.

See Vineyard Secrets
02 Rocco Vellini Coffee roaster, university rival, and incurable competitor

A coded entry in his family’s roasting journal records a midnight delivery, three knocks, and no invoice.

See Dark Roasted Secrets
03 Sybil Plum Retired librarian with a thirty-year literary mystery

An old novel, its author’s letter, and a checkout-card code suggest the murder was fiction—but the warning was not.

See Literary Secrets
04 Bea Weaver Craft-shop owner who builds crime scenes in miniature

Her miniature of Natalia’s cellar contains a tiny second door nobody else noticed. The door is real.

See Crafty Secrets
05 Henry Dover Quiet farmer who notices what everyone else misses

A family box in Henry’s barn has waited for decades, along with a secret his grandfather said should stay buried.

See Farmyard Secrets
06 Margot Beaumont Artist, oldest friend, and keeper of the final connection

A portrait painted by Margot’s grandmother—one of the original circle—has waited beneath a cloth for decades and may finally identify E.M.
