A disappearance investigation becomes a survival test

In Piper’s hometown, a pattern of missing teenagers prompts her and her best friend Hazel to investigate. Their search leads them to the people behind the disappearances and a secluded building in a privately owned forest. There, confinement is only part of the danger: each room presents a test with survival at stake. The setup connects a mystery about what happened to the missing teens with a high-stakes escape scenario, giving the book two linked strands—uncovering the truth and trying to get out alive.

Book overview

A twisty psychological thriller from Natasha Preston, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller author of THE CELLAR!

It's a fight for survival in a building designed to ensure that no one makes it out alive.

In Piper's hometown, teenagers keep disappearing, and everyone assumes they're just a bunch of runaways. But when yet another person vanishes, Piper and her best friend Hazel suspect something more sinister is going on.

So they decide to investigate, determined to learn the truth. Their search for answers leads them to the source of the missing...and their captors. Piper and Hazel suddenly find themselves locked away in a secluded property in the middle of a privately owned forest.

But the building isn't only meant to keep them imprisoned; every room is a test to see if they can make it out alive.

And failure means being lost...forever.

A high stakes thriller for readers of One of Us is Lying and The Cheerleaders!
