USA Today best-selling author Samantha Downing is back with her latest sneaky thriller set at a prestigious private school - complete with interfer.... 

Teddy Crutcher has won Teacher of the Year at the prestigious 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’re 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.
