From the #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of All Good People Here and The Missing Half comes a clever, twisty thriller that asks the question: why are we so obsessed with dead girls?
Kat Howard, a scholarship student at the prestigious Ashbrook College, needs to make some extra money, and fast.
Enter fellow writing major and Ashbrook's wunderkind, Theo Hart.
At eighteen, Theo became a literary sensation when he published Growing Up Scarface, a memoir chronicling the fire that killed his little sister and left him permanently scarred. Years later, Theo is still waiting for his next great book idea -- and the paycheck that comes with it.
Like Kat, he's desperate.
When Theo proposes a scheme to swindle their wealthy classmate and stuck-up oil heiress, Madelyn St. Clair, out of her inheritance, it feels like a win for them both. But as Kat sinks deeper into the con, it becomes clear not everyone is who they seem to be, and soon the game for money turns into one of life or death.
As each of these three unique points of view unfolds, a new layer of the story is peeled back, revealing the shocking truth at its heart.
