Chosen by the Kindle Worlds blog for its Monday Mystery Spotlight (October 20, 2014.)

Tish Malone has a problem. It’s midnight, and every telephone in town begins ringing—every telephone but hers. In Wayward Pines that can only mean one thing: she's tonight's Guest of Honor. And if she can't make it to the electrified fence and electrocute herself before the mob gets hold of her, she'll be tortured and killed in the town square.

What's a girl to do?

She had a feeling this might happen, and has been planning her escape all day. In fact, it seems she’s been planning an escape one way or another ever since she woke up nine months ago to find herself a prisoner in "the most perfect place on Earth." Wayward Pines, Idaho. Population: all screwed up.

Guest of Honor is a tongue-in-cheek Wayward Pines send up - a blend of dark comedy with a shot of suspense and a sprinkling of romance, and takes place two weeks before the beginning of Blake Crouch’s Pines, featuring everyone’s favorite sociopath, Nurse Pam, and her not-so-alter-ego, Dr. Pam, as well as ex Secret Service Agent Bill Evans, former partner of Kate Hewson/Ballinger.
