#1 New York Times Bestseller • Selected as one of the year’s top ten books by Entertainment Weekly, Buzzfeed, and Popcrush!

Described by Entertainment Weekly as “Pretty Little Liars meets The Breakfast Club,” this compelling mystery will keep you hooked. What happens when five students enter detention, but only four leave alive? Pay attention—you might just unravel the mystery yourself.

On an ordinary Monday afternoon at Bayview High, five teenagers find themselves stuck in detention. Bronwyn, the straight-laced student headed for Yale, always follows the rules. Addy, the stunning homecoming princess, appears perfectly poised. Nate, known as the school troublemaker, is already on probation for drug dealing. Cooper, the star athlete, is the standout pitcher on the baseball team. And Simon, an unpopular loner who runs Bayview High’s infamous gossip app, knows everyone’s secrets.

But Simon never leaves that classroom alive. Before detention is over, he’s dead—and authorities say it wasn’t an accident. On Monday, Simon died, but he had plans for Tuesday: to expose scandalous secrets about each of his four classmates. With plenty of reason to silence Simon, Bronwyn, Addy, Nate, and Cooper become prime suspects in his murder. Or are the four of them simply convenient scapegoats, framed by a killer who’s still free?

Everyone at Bayview High is hiding something. But the real question is this: how far would you go to protect your darkest secrets?
