INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER

"Witty and macabre."--Caroline Kepnes

"Slick and chilling."--Megan Miranda

"A perfect summer book."--NPR

USA Today bestselling author Samantha Downing is back with her latest sneaky thriller set at a prestigious private school--complete with interfering parents, overeager students, and one teacher who just wants to teach them all a lesson...

Teddy Crutcher has won Teacher of the Year at the elite Belmont Academy, home to the best and brightest.

He says his wife couldn't be more proud--though no one has seen her in a while.

Teddy really can't be bothered with a few mysterious deaths on campus that are looking more and more like murder, or with the student digging a little too deep into Teddy's personal life. His main focus is pushing these kids to their full academic potential.

All he wants is for his colleagues--and the endlessly meddlesome parents--to stay out of his way. If not, well, they'll get what they deserve.

It's really too bad that sometimes excellence comes at such a high cost.
