At an elite prep school haunted by mysterious deaths, someone is playing a dangerous game ...

Inside the walls of Indiana's elite Westmont Preparatory High School, expectations run high and rules are strictly enforced. But in the woods beyond the manicured campus sits an abandoned boarding house, infamous among Westmont's students as a late-night hangout.

And for its players, there may be no way to win-or to survive ...

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

PRAISE FOR THE NOVELS OF CHARLIE DONLEA
 
SOME CHOOSE DARKNESS
 
“In Donlea’s skillful hands, this story of obsession, murder, and the search for truth is both a compassionate character study and a compelling thriller.”
—Kirkus Reviews
 
“Engrossing. . . . Donlea smoothly mixes red herrings and genuine clues. Readers who relish a good puzzle will be rewarded.”
Publishers Weekly
 
“Part 1970s serial-killer thriller and part contemporary Chicago crime novel, this deceptively quick read has something for everyone.”
Booklist
 
“Suspense builds, clues mount and dangers lurks seemingly everywhere as the story nimbly toggles between then and now in Donlea’s twisty-turny mystery.”
Bookpage
 
DON’T BELIEVE IT
 
“You can’t blame Charlie Donlea if the ending of his novel makes your jaw drop. The title alone is fair warning that his characters are no more to be trusted than our initial impressions of them.”
The New York Times Book Review
 
THE GIRL WHO WAS TAKEN
 
“A fast-moving page-turner. . . . Donlea skillfully maximizes suspense by juggling narrators and time all the way to the shocking final twists.”
Publishers Weekly
 
SUMMIT LAKE
 
 “Donlea keeps readers guessing throughout. The whodunit plot is clever and compelling . . . for fans of nonstop mysteries with a twist.”
Library Journal
