Football, ambition, and a school’s hidden secrets

At East Pages High, football shapes both the town’s identity and Finn Geringer’s hopes for a college scholarship. When Megan’s questions about missing rival players lead to threats, and Brit discovers that her place among the school’s popular students offers little access to the truth, the team’s public prestige begins to look more complicated. The three young people’s investigations converge after a player dies, setting personal ambition against the effort to uncover what is being concealed. The story combines a sports-school setting with a mystery about power, loyalty, and the cost of protecting an institution’s reputation.

Book overview

INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER - In this juicy, sinuous thriller a young football player learns the lengths people will go to in order to win as he tries to uncover what's really going on at his prestigious sports school.

"Twisty, turny, football thriller fun. If Agatha Christie wrote an episode of Friday Night Lights, this would be it!"--Gretchen McNeil, author of Ten and #MurderTrending

"A fast-paced thriller that will keep readers guessing."--Kirkus Reviews

In Texas, football is life.

For Finn Geringer, it's a ticket to a better future. Transferring to East Pages High, Finn hopes to secure a college scholarship and a chance to provide for his grandmother. In this town where football reigns supreme, East Pages seems perfect.

Until it's not.

Finn's girlfriend, Megan, notices rival players absent from games. As she digs deeper, her life becomes increasingly dangerous: Mysterious cars tail her, strangers issue threats, and she's sure someone's been in her bedroom. Is it her imagination, or is East Pages hiding a dark secret?

Meanwhile, Finn's cousin, Brit, the head cheerleader, revels in the perks of popularity and the prestige of attending a renowned sports school. But when a football player dies, she learns that her peers are purposely keeping her in the dark. Is her popularity an illusion?

Finn must choose between pursuing his dreams or uncovering the truth. As he, Brit, and Megan unravel the team's mysteries, they face a powerful force determined to protect the school's legacy at all costs.
