Description
London Police officer Lacey Flint must go deep undercover to stop whoever is preying on Cambridge students in the sequel to S. J. Bolton’s widely acclaimed Now You See Me
When a rash of suicides tears through Cambridge University, DI Mark Joesbury recruits DC Lacey Flint to go undercover as a student to investigate the suspicious deaths. Given the circumstances, no one is convinced that the victims acted alone. They believe that someone is preying on lonely and insecure students and either encouraging them to take their own lives or actually luring them to their deaths. So long as Lacey can play the role of a vulnerable young woman, she may be able to stop these deaths, but is it just a role? With a past as fragile as hers is she drawing out the killers or is she getting drawn into a deadly game where she is a perfect victim? Dark and compelling, S. J. Bolton’s latest thriller—a follow-up to Now You See Me—is another work of brilliant psychological suspense that plumbs the most sinister depths.Advance Praise
"Det. Constable Lacey Flint goes undercover in Bolton’s outstanding
follow-up to 2011’s Now You See Me. As a new recruit to SO10, “the
special crimes directorate of the [London] Metropolitan Police that
deals with covert operations,” Flint masquerades as psychology
undergraduate Laura Farrow at Cambridge University’s St. John’s College,
where she stays in the same room as a first-year medical student who
lit herself on fire during a Christmas party, the latest in a string of
suicide attempts. Besides Det. Insp. Mark Joesbury, her boss at SO10, Flint can trust only psychiatrist Dr. Evi Oliver, the head of the
university’s counseling staff who appeared in 2010’s Blood Harvest. Not
only has there been a spike in suicides, but the women who’ve killed
themselves—many in particularly gruesome ways—reported vivid night
terrors and dreams of being raped. Though Joesbury wants Flint to simply
observe student life, she takes the investigation much deeper and
becomes part of the dangerous game she’s meant to be preventing. Bolton
(winner of two Mary Higgins Clark Awards) never eases up the tension;
her tightly coiled plot and heroine on the edge work perfectly in
tandem. Agent: Anne-Marie Doulton, the Ampersand Agency. (June)"
