One of Us Is Back

Summary

From international bestseller Karen M. McManus comes the explosive conclusion to the acclaimed One of Us Is Lying trilogy - now available in a bold new cover look complete with a inky black background and matching sprayed edges.

Life hasn't been easy for the teenagers of Bayview. First they had to prove they weren't killers. Then outwit a vengeful copycat. Now, it's beginning again.

At first the mysterious billboard seems like a bad joke:

Time for a new game, Bayview. . .

But when a student disappears, it's clear this 'game' has deadly consequences - and no-one knows the rules.

Simon was right about secrets - they all come out in the end.
