‘A thriller author to watch!’ Karen M. McManus, international bestselling author of One of Us Is Lying
Chloe Roberts is on top of the world at Morton Academy. She’s a shoo-in for Head Girl and the lead spot in the school’s secret society: Jewel and Bone. But then her best friend, Nikhita Patel, stabs her in the back, and life comes crashing down.
Things takes a darker turn when Chloe stumbles upon the Book of Crime and Punishment – a record of every misdeed committed by Morton students and the fitting penalty. And it’s not long before entries in the book start to correlate with murders of Jewel and Bone members. Anyone could be a suspect.
